Launched earlier this year, the Innovation Matters Podcast shines a light on some of the best and brightest entrepreneurs and innovators, where Talitha Heaton and Ronny Munster interview guests to uncover some relatable truths on the entrepreneurial journey.
In a world where social media adds a filter to everything, and the bigger brand success stories often gain the largest audience, we’re on a mission to share stories of failure, hardship – and also successes – as experienced by business owners and experts as they go through it.
In this episode, husband and wife co-founders, Ben Shoshan and Marika Cysouw, give us a masterclass in adaptability, resilience and leadership in this episode. They started their business, Open Water, on the heels of a recession, working to ‘transform mindsets and behaviours’ in corporations experiencing change – an offering traditionally delivered face to face.
When Covid hit in 2020 and the world closed seemingly overnight, they needed to pivot quickly which resulted in more than survival; Open Water grew. Ben and Marika’s openness, empathy and curiosity all come through in this episode, where they talk about the highs and lows of scaling Open Water, how they balance business and family life, as well as sharing their views on leadership and corporate relationships.
