Season 1 - Episode 0 : Meet The Hosts

Say Hello to Startup Different! A Hype-free way to grow a multi-million dollar business.

Startups are sexy. From revolutions to disruptions to pivots, running your own startup is an appealing but unfortunately buzzword-heavy endeavor. The problem is that a lot of the buzz around startups is full of myths and misnomers. Making the wrong call on questions like these can actually crush your dreams rather than realizing them.

And it’s not just business decisions. Entrepreneurs also feel constant challenges to their legitimacy—doubts from family, friends, their employees, mentors, the market… you name it.

Startup Different is here to show you that there’s another, better way to build your business. Lead by successful software entrepreneurs and brothers David and Chris Sinkinson, who sold their bootstrapped business for tens of millions of dollars, Startup Different gives you proven ideas and frameworks that can help you create a legitimate startup without all the nonsense and mythology.

In this episode you'll get to know Dave and Chris' story and how they plan to pay it forward with this podcast.
