Summary: Ben Higgins has come a long way since his “Perfect Ben” days on The Bachelor, and now he wants to take you along as he explores being an entrepreneur! He’s enlisted the help of venture capitalist Jesse Draper, whose firm has helped with early stage investing in female founded startups, like Carbon 38 and Sugarfina.

Each week, they’ll sit down with a different CEO or entrepreneur, and learn how they achieved their goals, what challenges they face, and the tips they can share with the next generation.
