EE 294 - The Pursuit of the Entrepreneurial Dream with Charlie Butler - Bounce Insights Co-Founder
Today is a special episode for me personally as I first met Charlie back in 2019 at my live podcast in Dublin city when he was in the very first days of his entrepreneurial journey.
To now see him build a world-leading company is a beautiful milestone in both Charlie's journey and the journey of this podcast.
This is a business chat but it's filled with honesty, warmth and deeper exploration of why we become founders.
We navigate his journey, from college days to launching a company that's reshaping the research industry. The conversation illuminates how Bounce Insights empowers brands with a consumer research platform that facilitates quick and effective decision-making. Charlie and I unpack the complexities of human sources of feedback and emphasize the significance of a complementary skill set in business.
This episode takes a close look at the business-building process, shedding light on the evolution of the research industry and Charlie's disruptive approach. Charlie shares the challenges faced in convincing consumers to participate in surveys and how the industry responded with more efficient, cost-effective solutions. We delve into the power of customer discovery and psychology in understanding consumer needs and behaviours.
We conclude our conversation discussing the 'Entrepreneur Dream', its influence on young entrepreneurs, and the pursuit of happiness. Charlie and I also reflect on his experience with a failed business deal, underlining the importance of pursuing potential rather than happiness. In the end, we learn that the joy of entrepreneurship lies in the relationships we build, the support from family and friends, and the feeling of accomplishment when we reach our goals. Tune in for a candid chat filled with invaluable insights and lessons from a modern entrepreneur's journey.
