Many in the startup community have heard about Alisher Khasanov, the host of Silkway Accelerator from Google for Startups and Astana Hub. Everyone has mixed feelings about him: some thank Alisher with admiration for taking them out of their comfort zone and achieving results, while others find his radical methods too harsh. Alisher himself believes that at each session he climbs into a cage with tigers and lions, who find it difficult to change their thinking and erase old, non-working attitudes. In the new podcast, Mirat Akhmetsadykov and Adil Nurgozhin talk with Alisher Khasanov about the philosophy of entrepreneurship, the ability to take responsibility and tame your EGO. We would like to thank Astana Hub for assistance in filming and providing the location.
