The evening will include some raw and transparent stories of how these successful founders dealt with the challenges that every startup or small business encounters when trying to build and scale their business. Founder of The Startup Story Podcast, James McKinney, is a serial entrepreneur who interviews esteemed business founders diving into the daily grind, the grit, and business trials that they have experienced. He is now bringing those stories to a 1500 person live Texas audience.
“Business headlines have us believe that if we simply start an online business or brand that we will be a hundred-millionaire within 18-months. The true stories of what it takes to build a business are nowhere to be found because they are not sexy.” States Host and Startup Story founder James McKinney. “Nothing is appealing about navigating bad equity deals. There is nothing newsworthy about maxing out your credit cards to get a prototype finished for an investor meeting. We will be on stage discussing the reality of business with real relatable perspectives and guidelines to massive success. These are the hidden gems in experiences that need to be heard.”
Tickets are available now and can be purchased directly from the event website. Current pricing includes discounted early bird rates of $150.00 for general admission seating and $225 for VIP seating up to April 1st, 2020.

“It’s not about the dream, it’s not about the vision, it’s about having the courage to take that very first step -- to start,” Continues Host & Founder of the Startup Story Podcast James McKinney. “That’s the beauty of this event, people who want to build their businesses or have become stuck while doing so will have the opportunity to get advice from those who have been there and have brilliantly made it through.”
