In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty is joined by George Kourakos, founder of AMG Media and a Forbes 30 Under 30 entrepreneur, to unpack what it takes to build a thriving startup in Europe's evolving market. George shares how he turned student-run events into a marketing powerhouse working with brands like HP and Lenovo—without any outside funding. The conversation spans key mindset shifts, strategic bootstrapping, the real reason big brands sponsor, and why AI will never replace human touch in high-performance businesses. A must-listen for founders, freelancers, and growth-driven professionals.

• Pitching to sponsors is less about glam and more about timing, clarity, and trust.

• European startup growth is more structured and fund-accessible but requires a deep understanding of country-specific needs.
