Sponsored by Amazon Business, the groundbreaking series will premiere exclusively on At a time when hustle culture dominates and success is often measured in headlines and funding rounds, Entrepreneur Therapy offers something rare: honesty. The series brings together Kim Perell's real-world experience building and investing in over 100 companies and Dr. Drew's decades-long expertise in mental health and human behavior. Together, they explore the emotional toll and psychological struggles that too often accompany the entrepreneurial journey. "Entrepreneurship looks glamorous from the outside but behind the pitch decks and polished Instagram posts are sleepless nights, costly mistakes, and paralyzing pressure," said Kim Perell. "This show is about bringing those truths into the light and giving founders the space to be seen, not just as CEOs, but as human beings." Each episode will feature intimate conversations with small business owners who are struggling with more than scaling their companies. From burnout and anxiety to self-doubt and financial stress, these founders open up about what's really going on behind the pitch decks, funding rounds, and polished social media posts. "Entrepreneurs are under enormous pressure, and many are suffering silently," said co-host Dr. Drew Pinsky. "Entrepreneur Therapy is designed to be a safe space for them to speak openly and get real emotional and strategic support." Entrepreneur Therapy builds on the legacy of one of Entrepreneur Media's most popular shows, Entrepreneur Elevator Pitch. In its fast-paced format, entrepreneurs have 60 seconds to pitch their business idea in an elevator. If the panel of investors like what they hear, the entrepreneurs are invited into the boardroom to pitch for real money. Now, many of those same founders are returning to the screen in Entrepreneur Therapy. This time, their goal is not to raise funding, but to raise awareness about what it takes to keep going after the pitch. These are raw, "where are they now" stories that blend personal vulnerability with professional insight. "This series marks an evolution in how we tell stories of entrepreneurship," said Bill Shaw, President of Entrepreneur Media. "We're no longer just talking about success, we're talking about survival, growth, and the emotional truth behind the grind. It's powerful, it's real, and it's long overdue." Whether you're scaling, pivoting, or simply trying to stay afloat, Entrepreneur Therapy is a must-watch for founders ready to be reminded: you're not alone. The first episode will be premiering on June 17, on Streaming schedule and episode details to follow.

Amazon opens dedicated Australian business store
Amazon is expanding its massive footprint in Australia, to business supplies. Amazon Business opened an Australian site on Wednesday morning, the retailer's eleventh country-specific business wholesale store. Questioned about taking on retailers such as Officeworks, Amazon Australia executive Lena Zak told NewsWire: 'We've invested in our selection, we've invested in our delivery processes and customers are getting deliveries as fast as the same day'. 'We are really customer-focused, not competitor-focused … We really believe that now is the time to launch for (business-to-business) customers, who we feel have been under-served by the procurement processes that we have in Australia.' Amazon Business offers wholesale rates and 'eligible' businesses can consolidate their purchases and tax invoices in one place. Amazon does not disclose what exactly makes a business eligible other than being 'legitimate'. Amazon Australia's growth marketing boss, Ms Zak, told NewsWire the company's existing courier network could handle the new business customers. The business arm of the retail giant sells millions of items. Beyond pens and desk chairs, there are cleaning supplies, trades equipment, cookery and first aid. 'They're also buying nappies and formula, and toys, and the list goes on,' Ms Zak said of business customers, such as day care centres. 'Without Amazon Business, they may have had to visit multiple stores to get everything they need … with this launch, they can get all of that in one place, delivered fast and free and with exclusive discounts.' Ten other countries have a dedicated Amazon Business store, namely Canada, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Spain, the UK and the US. Touting independent research from YouGov, Amazon says 78 per cent of small and medium businesses have made cost-cuttings in the past three years, signalling room in the market for Amazon's massive product range and member discounts. The general platform allows small businesses to sell their products; in total, 14,000 Australian businesses sell their wares on Amazon, Ms Zak said. 'So for those sellers on our side, we're now giving them access to a whole new customer base to continue growing their businesses' In the US, the retail giant is trying to make inroads in another lucrative market – groceries. Consumers can pay US$99.99 a year on top of their Prime subscriptions to get groceries delivered. Mexican and British grocery chains have signed similar deals with the retailer. Ms Zak and other spokespeople for Amazon said there were plans for Australian grocery deliveries.

Major Amazon move for millions of Aussies following $7.7 billion boom: ‘Immediate savings'
Amazon Australia is set to increase its dominance in the Australian retail sector, with the online giant announcing the launch of Amazon Business today. Amazon claimed the move would offer 'immediate savings' for businesses, who will be able to access millions of products. Amazon Business was first launched in the United States a decade ago and has since expanded to 11 countries, now including Australia, with more than eight million customers worldwide. Amazon Business Australia country manager Lena Zak told Yahoo Finance there was a gap in the market for the service Down Under. 'I really don't think that anybody else can offer what we offer. We have millions of products on Amazon that really aren't available anywhere else,' she said. RELATED Major Coles move to take on Chemist Warehouse, Bunnings, Amazon after $400 million loss Rare $1 coin worth 10 times more due to 'unfortunate' detail Woolworths shopper reveals little-known price tag trick The new business-to-business store will offer the same wide selection of products and quick delivery that existing Amazon customers will be used to. Plus, there will be new business-specific features like business-only pricing and quantity discounts. Zak said one of the big drawcards for businesses was the fact that they could do all their shopping in one place, whether that's for office products, electronics, furniture or other items. 'Business customers are often shopping for office supplies and we absolutely have those. But business customers can [also] be tradies looking for tools or boots,' she said. 'They can be something like a daycare looking for stationery, printers and printer cartridges, but also the pantry items, the coffee pods and cleaning products, and at the same time nappies, formula and toys. 'We offer all of that on Amazon Business, and without us they would need to maybe visit multiple stores to get all of that.' It comes as new data from YouGov commissioned by Amazon Australia, found the cost of doing business had increased for 92 per cent of Australian small and medium businesses over the last three years. Rising operating costs were the biggest concern for 79 per cent, with the cost of goods and products being a main driver of cost increases across businesses. 'We really believe that as operating costs keep rising, Amazon Business can help take some of that pressure off by offering real savings on everyday goods and supplies, but most importantly the convenience and simplicity of our business store and fast delivery options,' Zak said. Zak said savings would vary depending on the product in question, but gave the example of a HPM Standard 4 Outlet Powerboard being sold for $5.25. The same product is available at Officeworks for $7. Meanwhile, a 1 kilogram bag of DeLonghi signature blend coffee beans is available for $26.64 on Amazon Business. This is lower than the $29 price on offer online at The Good Guys and JB Hi-Fi. Amazon has increasingly been staking its dominance in Australia's e-commerce sector. It launched its Australian retail store in 2017 and has invested around $15 billion locally since 2011. It recorded local revenues of $7.7 billion last year, up by around a fifth, according to accounts lodged with the corporate regulator. Revenues from its e-commerce business rose 23 per cent to $3.8 billion in the 12 months to December. Its Prime subscription program, which gives subscribers access to same-day delivery and streaming, had revenues of $480.4 million, which was a 39 per cent rise. Goldman Sachs analysis in December found Amazon was the second-largest online retailer in the country by retail sales after Woolworths but ahead of Coles, Officeworks and JB Hi-Fi among others. The supermarket giants have said Amazon is one of their biggest rivals, with Woolworths chief executive Amanda Bardwell noting the retailer now covers about 40 per cent of its range in grocery, household and personal care products. Coles chief executive Leah Weckert, meanwhile, noted Amazon could be "quite disruptive" to its business model. Last year, Roy Morgan research found Amazon Australia had a 7.9 million strong customer base, with 1.1 million people added in the 12 months to June, in retrieving data Sign in to access your portfolio Error in retrieving data
