In this episode of Founders Future, with host Zach Young, we sit down with Kaustav Ghosh, a digital transformation expert and the founder of the global community "I Support Your Business." Kaustav shares the inspiring origin story of his community, which was born during the COVID-19 pandemic as a campaign to support 101 struggling small businesses through collaborative promotion, ultimately reaching an audience of 7.5 million. He delves into the common challenges solopreneurs and small business owners face, emphasizing the critical misunderstanding between marketing, sales, and brand building.

Kaustav passionately argues that the most powerful tool for any business is the founder's own unique story and the authentic human connections they build. He outlines his community's focus on mindset coaching and storytelling as the foundation for growth and discusses his future vision: creating an 8-pillar support ecosystem to help entrepreneurs establish themselves as subject matter experts. The conversation also explores the essential balance between leveraging AI for efficiency and maintaining the irreplaceable value of human connection in business.
