Many of the entrepreneurs Hidden Star works with felt as though they were on their own when they decided to start their businesses. They had never heard the success stories of people just like them. They needed inspiration and advice from those who had done it before, but did not know where to look. Hidden Star recognized this as a new opportunity to serve their clients, and decided to launch Beating the Odds Podcast.
