#246. The Co-Founder of VIPER on Believing in your Intuition

They say independent thinkers make great leaders. They’re confident in themselves, their problem-solving skills and the new ideas they often bring to the table. This week’s guest was raised to think for herself above all else, so nothing was going to stop her from doing what she thought was best for her — and that just happened to be becoming an entrepreneur.

In this episode of Peers2Peers, powered by Shopify, we’re joined by Celeste Durve, Co-Founder of VIPER to talk about tackling social media addiction, knowing when it’s time to grow and evolve your business, and the unexpected loneliness that can come with being an entrepreneur.

PEERS Trailer

Welcome to the new and improved PEERS — a podcast by BIPOC founders for BIPOC founders.

Join me, proud biracial Australian and Forbes 30 Under 30 Lister, Michelle Akhidenor, for soul-enriching conversations with my peers — fellow BIPOC founders.

Each week, I dive deep into the personal journey of my award-winning guests and unpack who they really are at their core. I ask questions like: Where did they grow up? How has their culture helped or hindered them along the way? What is it really like to be a Person of Colour in business? All of my (and hopefully, your) burning questions answered.

With every episode, my mission is to create a supportive space to help you pursue your passion and start your business irrespective of the challenges we face as People of Colour. My interviews are honest, vulnerable and above all, human and I am committed to learning right alongside you in real time.

New episodes of this 8-part Season drop each and every week!

Thank you for being here, peers.
