However, success depends on how well you execute that idea. Entrepreneurs have to take that idea and put it through a trial period to find out if it is viable. You have to identify the unique elements of your idea and learn how you can use it to create memorable experiences for users.  This is the journey Nick Hughes went through with his idea for Founders Live. After seeing its success among fellow entrepreneurs in one city, he started expanding to other locations to bring the experience to the international level.  In this episode of the Innovations and Breakthroughs Podcast, Rich Goldstein interviews Nick Hughes, the Founder and CEO of Founders Live, about his work empowering entrepreneurs worldwide. Nick also talks about his brand's core values, growing in different locations, and his advice on IP protection.
