This episode of The Art of Entrepreneurship is for anyone ready to put on their thinking caps and strengthen their problem-solving muscles.

Problem solving is an important business and life skill, but after seeing a few examples in my own business this week, I want to discuss how it applies specifically to marketing.

Make sure you tune in for tips that will help you shift into problem-solving mode (one is about attitude, and one is about discipline—but I promise it’s not high school gym coach vibes!).

This episode of The Art of Entrepreneurship is for anyone who is wondering which funding method is right for their startup.

My guest today is Paul Bianco, Founder and CEO of Graphite, a company that provides outsourced accounting and financial services for startups and growth-stage companies. Paul and I discuss the pros and cons of different funding strategies (e.g. investors, bootstrapping), cash management, and how founders should view debt.

Even if money talk isn’t your favorite (said as a creative who doesn’t totally love talking finance), Paul’s insights are a must-listen for any entrepreneur.

Paul Bianco caught the entrepreneur bug at the age of nineteen, igniting a lifelong journey of business creation and growth. From spending hours on his college campus handing out fliers for his first business venture to his invaluable experiences in consulting and venture capital, he laid a strong foundation for his brainchild, Graphite. Over nearly seven years, Paul has dedicated himself to providing entrepreneurs with accessible fractional finance and accounting services, empowering early and growth-stage companies to achieve financial prowess without the operational cost of building an in-house finance team.

This episode of The Art of Entrepreneurship is for anyone who is worried that employees with side hustles are a flight risk.

Leaders may not want to talk about it, but it’s more and more common that employees have their full-time jobs *and* have side hustles or entrepreneurial aspirations. Many of the team members at my marketing agency have a side hustle or run their own business. Guess what? These employees are also some of our most dedicated and highest-performing employees.

I share some tips on how we handle side hustles at my company and how we prioritize the whole person, rather than the work person.

• Podcast: Side hustles: why companies should accept them & how to grow your own w/ Carrie Bohlig
• Podcast: How to be a leader when you don’t want to be a manager
• Blog: Are entrepreneurial employees a flight risk?
