What is Entrepreneur Perspectives?

Entrepreneur Perspectives is a podcast about leaders think right now. No prep. No rehearsed answers. Just real conversations about what’s on their mind when the mic goes on.

Hosted by Eric Kasimov, founder of KazSource and creator of QuietLoud Studios, the show features founders, creatives, operators, and curious minds — all sharing what they’re working through, building toward, or rethinking in real time.

I’m Eric, and I ask people what they’re seeing from where they stand — in this moment.
