Note: This episode was recorded in March 2022. Hi everyone! This is the final episode for 2022. I’m hoping to get back into a podcasting groove next year. I really enjoyed interviewing Ali Shah – co-founder & CEO of TapeReal. TapeReal is a social platform where human connection, authenticity, and meaningful content comes first. I came across his company through Equivesto, the Canadian equity crowdfunding platform. The previous episode (Ep. 041) is an interview with Equivesto’s managing director, Alexander Morsink. The mission of TapeReal is create a less intimidating space for aspiring creators. It’s a place where they can document their journey, grow and evolve. In this episode Ali, chats about how the start of his entrepreneurial journey began as a franchisor for Subway. (His dad, banker by profession, became a franchisor for Mr. Sub, when he came to Canada). He then founded several companies before starting TapeReal. We chat about the early days of TapeReal, how it was originally posed as an idea of having a synchronous conversation with someone, before pivoting to focus on asynchronous content. We also chat about how social media is integrated into our lives and just how addictive it can be. (Especially TikTok! Since recording this episode, I have revived my TikTok account, but I am barely on it. Maybe that’s a good thing?)
