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.

[29] Steve Braker: The action-thriller entrepreneur
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
"I wanted to have enough money to live comfortably by age 50. I didn't know how to do it, but I knew I would do it."
What's the connection between writing action-thriller novels (my favorites) and entrepreneurship? On this podcast, Steve Braker takes us through his journey as he transitioned from being a successful business owner to the highly competitive world of book publishing.
Steve opened his first serious business, an English language school in Leicester Square in the UK. He built it from one room above a Chinese restaurant to a four-story building with fifteen classrooms.
In 2000, Steve visited Mombasa, Kenya, and fell in love with the continent. He moved his family and started a few businesses, including becoming a PADI (Professional Association of Diving Instructors®) dive instructor, taking divers out to the local reefs and wrecks.
Listen to Steve's adventurous journey and get a rare inside perspective on what it takes to become a successful author.
