Most business podcasts interview people who raised a round or sold a company. This one doesn't. Every Tuesday, Seth Goldstein spends twenty minutes with someone actually running a business. Translators, designers, coaches, agency owners. People who left a job and built something real. Seth was a journalist for six years, so he arrives with a question and gets out of the way.

  • Conversations That Feel Effortless

    I’ve had the opportunity to be on Entrepreneurs Enigma with Seth Goldstein a few times now, and every conversation feels like catching up with an old friend. Seth has a way of creating such an easy, comfortable environment that makes the conversation flow naturally. He’s a thoughtful host, and each time I’ve joined him, it’s felt relaxed, genuine, and enjoyable. It always makes for a great conversation.

  • You’re Not Alone

    Entrepreneur’s Enigma perfectly captures the real journey of entrepreneurship - the highs, the doubts, the breakthroughs...and everything in between.

    What I appreciate most is the honesty. These aren’t polished highlight reels; Seth profiles real stories from founders who openly share the victories and the setbacks.

    It’s motivating, grounding and a great reminder that none of us are navigating this journey alone.
