The wait is finally over! Here, in front of you all, is the most awaited episode - "Speaking Stars" with Steve Grace, hosted by Mayank Gangwar. It is the first episode of "Speaking Stars" - Guest Interview series where we connect with notable personalities to gain expert tips from diverse fields! This episode marks the beginning of it. Many more episodes are scheduled for release in the upcoming weeks, so stay tuned.

Today, we have Steve Grace on the mic, and as usual, we go with letting our guests hold the spotlight. This was similarly a question-and-answer-based chat, where Steve presented his views and experiences.

Steve Grace is the Founder of TNG Media & The Nudge Group, CEO of Balance The Grind, Podcast Host of Give It A Nudge Show, and Director of YBF Ventures.

The Nudge Group works with start-ups and scale-ups globally going through various stages of business growth. They connect them with world-class talent and a trusted ecosystem, from pre-seed to Series A, all the way to IPO.

Over the past 3 years, The Nudge Group has evolved and expanded, with new offices in the UK and Singapore, and their services spanning APAC, the UK, Europe, America, and Canada. While they still work with start-ups and scale-ups to help them recruit the right talent, they have taken a more holistic approach to empower the growth and scaling of these start-ups. They have created an ecosystem designed to empower these start-ups to grow and scale across the world, connecting them to a large network of trusted suppliers to help them achieve their goals.

From introducing them to VC and private equity firms to raising their profile with their media channels, Give It A Nudge and Balance the Grind, to building remote teams in the Philippines and Vietnam with their Nudge Remote service, their ecosystem enables these start-ups and scale-ups to plug in and grow.

Over the years, they have helped companies launch into the US, Australian start-ups expand into the UK, Singapore scale-ups establish a presence in Australia, Hong Kong & India, with many more to come!

Balance the Grind is a digital media company focused on highlighting conversations about work-life balance and profiling successful daily routines. It combines beautifully with the work they do at The Nudge Group as the two businesses really work in harmony, as well as being part of the TNG Media Group.

TNG Media, the media arm of The Nudge Group. Their growing portfolio of media brands includes: Give It A Nudge, their video podcast, where they dive deep into the world of start-ups and scale-ups. Their mission is to shed light on the innovative and inspiring people, companies, and ideas that are driving the world forward.

Balance the Grind is their publication committed to redefining what work-life balance means. They don't just talk about it; they inspire to 'live better' and find that sweet spot in professional and personal life.

Startup Life: Unscripted. Their weekly newsletter highlighting the real-world tales of startup operators and employees. Through their narratives, they offer a firsthand look at the passion and persistence it takes to thrive in the startup world.

In this episode, you will find key topics like: 
- Fundraising 
- Time Management 
- Entrepreneurship Traits 
- Adapting to a Dynamic Business Environment 
- Art of Marketing 
- Talent Recruiting

That's all for today. It was a great conversation with knowledge-packed learnings, especially for entrepreneurs and self-employed people.

The most important lessons that I personally learned are "Learn to Say NO," "Believe in the idea," "Art of fundraising," "Common mistakes to avoid," and "talent recruiting." We will be back with another excellent conversation to be released next week.
