Our take on Started from the Bottom podcast

Started from the Bottom celebrates the strength and resilience of those who dared to dream big and dared to make those dreams a reality. Every week, Justin Richmond interviews guests who grew up with limited resources, faced discrimination and had to work harder than most to succeed. Together, they explore their unique journeys, the challenges they faced, and the lessons they learned along the way. From humble beginnings to impressive accomplishments, these individuals refused to let their circumstances define them. Instead, they rose above the odds and are now here to share their stories with you. Started from the Bottom is a careers podcast by Pushkin Industries.
