Hey, it's Guy Ross here, and on my podcast How I Built This, I talk to founders behind

some of the world's biggest and most innovative companies to learn how they built them from

the ground up.

I've sat down with hundreds of entrepreneurs behind well-known companies in every single

category.

Companies like PayPal, Chibani, OpenAI, Michael Korz, Sunbomb, Orange Theory, as well as entrepreneurs

working to solve some of the biggest problems of our time, like developing technology that

pulls energy from the ground to heat and cool homes, or even figuring out how to make drinking

water from air and sunlight.

But we don't just talk about the perfect success stories, we also explore some of the darker

moments and challenges that are a huge part of any entrepreneur's story, and the skills

that they lean to on to get through, like learning to manage risks or raising money and

being able to learn from your mistakes.

In a recent episode of the show, I spoke with Chibani founder, Hondo Ulekaya.

Today, Chibani is one of the best-known yogurt companies in the world, but Hondo's entrepreneurial

journey was far from easy.

At 18, Hondo said goodbye to everything in everyone that he knew in Turkey and emigrated

to the United States, where he eventually started a business selling fetages.

After two grueling years, just as he was starting to make a little money, Hondo stumbled upon

what would end up becoming a huge opportunity, while sorting through the junk mail that had

been piling up on his desk.

I'm about to play a clip from how I built this, and while you're listening, please follow
