From Career Setbacks to Career Growth — with Bogdan Zlatkov

In this episode of Founders Future, with host Milan Kohut, we sit down with Bogdan Zlatkov, founder of Growth Hack Your Career, to explore how a long and difficult job search became the foundation for a purpose-driven business. Bogdan shares his journey from working in film and television to spending over a year navigating a frustrating transition into tech—an experience that pushed him to document what truly works in modern job hunting and ultimately build resources to help others avoid the same struggle.

The conversation dives into how Bogdan clarified his niche, restructured his offerings, and built a sustainable coaching business by aligning pricing, impact, and long-term stability. He reflects on the challenges of scaling, hiring the right people, and managing revenue fluctuations, while emphasizing the importance of systems, community, and focusing on strengths. Throughout the episode, Bogdan offers grounded insights on resilience, leadership, and why building a business—or a career—should never be done alone.
