Entrepreneurs in the Midst:

“Everyone who plans to start a business should read this first. There are many books that celebrate entrepreneurial success after the fact. In Entrepreneurs in the Midst, 16 entrepreneurs bare their hearts to share their stories before the outcome is certain. That’s a brave thing to do and a gift to those who follow in their footsteps.”
—Frank Bonsal, cofounder, New Enterprise Associates (NEA)

“Renny and Joe avoid an oft-idealized account of entrepreneurship, instead providing an honest and realistic view of founders’ day-to-day struggles and triumphs. If you’re thinking about starting a company, read this book.”
—Clara Sieg, partner & founding member, Revolution Ventures

Renny McPherson - Author Bio PicHow do people decide to start a company or help grow one in its infancy? How do they build those companies? There are plenty of stories about people on the other side of the journey, who have already achieved great success. But what about people in middle of the process, for whom outcomes are still uncertain? That’s what entrepreneur Renny McPherson and reporter Joe Flood—the hosts of the Numbers & Narrative podcast—set out to uncover in interviews with entrepreneurs who are building companies.

Joe Flood - Author Bio PicThe stories are inspiring, but tempered with honest talk about the struggles and challenges of entrepreneurship, a path none of these individuals took lightly. Entrepreneurs in the Midst is a fascinating read for anyone planning to pursue entrepreneurship and looking for role models on the journey, or for those curious to know how resilient, hard-working young people are building tomorrow’s businesses.

N2: Numbers and Narrative

N2 - Numbers and Narrative - LogoNumbers & Narrative is a long-form interview-based podcast. New podcast episodes air every Monday. Co-hosts Joe Flood and Renny McPherson interview an eclectic group of storytellers who love data and data junkies who tell great stories.

Joe and Renny first met in college. Both writers for the school newspaper, they were assigned to write an article together. They had to distill large amounts of data and show the stories behind the numbers.

Through this podcast, they share their passion with a community of people who believe that Numbers & Narrative guests should be widely heard.
