The Nth Degree Podcast With Tracy Timm

In this episode, I interview peer entrepreneur and dear friend Derek Flanzraich who is the CEO and Founder of Greatist.com, a next-generation media company working to build the first truly-trusted, consumer-facing health brand for Millenials. Greatist is currently the fastest-growing media site in the digital health space, with nearly 10 million unique visitors per month. Derek is a Harvard grad (boo…hiss), a Google-rejector, a serial “starter of things,” and a believer in the incentive of killer culture. In our conversation, Derek and I discuss how to find your passion, how to stay true to who you are, what gets him through the really tough days in the start up world, how to know if you’re ready to start something new, and my personal favorite, why he would never wish starting on business on his worst enemy. Derek is hilarious and has really incredible insight into the power of authenticity through our struggles
