Robin P. Zander on Storytelling and the Entrepreneurial Mindset

Ursa Consultants: Beyond the Balance Sheet

In our most recent episode of Beyond the Balance Sheet, Jace sat down with Robin Zander, founder and CEO of Zander Media – a creative agency that’s worked with clients such as Sequoia, Philz Coffee, Codility, and more.

Robin is a serial entrepreneur, having built three successful companies in the last seven years. He knows a thing or two about building businesses from the ground up.

Jace and Robin talk about the entrepreneurial journey and Robin shares the story of how he started a restaurant with no prior experience – and the challenges that came with that.

They discuss Robin’s transition from the restaurant industry to founding Zander Media and why he decided to focus on digital storytelling for startups.

Robin gives specific advice on storytelling. He argues that just because not everyone is a natural storyteller, but that doesn’t mean not everyone can tell a great story. As Robin says, “Practice makes excellent.”

Robin’s journey wasn’t one without hurdles. But those challenges are part of the fun. In Robin’s words, “There’s always another mountain to climb. But I’ve done something like that before.”

It was a pleasure to have Robin on the podcast. Enjoy!
