The Entrepreneur Next Door 🏡
My name is Zev Asch; welcome to The Entrepreneur Next Door Podcast. I've spent my entire career in what I call "the trenches of small business and entrepreneurship." I spent three decades as a successful corporate marketing executive in small and family-owned businesses, an academic career as a Graduate Marketing Professor and director of Entrepreneurship and leadership at Touro University Graduate School of Business, and over a decade as a business transformation coach.
As an avid podcast listener, I've always craved one that features unknown, grounded non-celebrities and entrepreneurs who can be my next-door neighbors.
Join me for intimate, unfiltered conversations with everyday people who took a leap into entrepreneurship and openly share their journey from failure to success. I spend hours preparing for each interview and asking intimate and challenging questions; one insight can make a profound difference in your business or life.
Finally, I promise that my podcast will never be used as a platform for me or my guests to self-promote. I strictly prohibit it and ensure each guest understands before being featured on my show.
My goal is to ensure that every episode delivers at least one insight that can help you improve your business or one aspect of your personal life.
Listen, subscribe, and share this channel with my thanks.

Listen to my fascinating conversation with Dr. Shan Siddiqui, a Harvard Medical School NeuroPsychiatrist. Dr. Sidiqqui provides a valuable perspective on the intersection of neuroscience, mental health, and his experience with entrepreneurship.

Aspiring founders can benefit from his practical advice on common startup pitfalls, which emphasizes strategic focus, adaptable technology, and genuine problem-solving commitment.
His personal journey and advocacy for destigmatizing mental illness add an interesting human element to his scientific expertise.
