In the 43rd episode of the Smokey Mirror Podcast, I had the pleasure of speaking with Kaben Clauson, an accomplished entrepreneur and business leader currently building a company called Base in the community building space. 

Kaben shared his journey of building app companies, including the highs and lows that come with it, and the crucial first step of leaving his well-paying corporate job to pursue entrepreneurship. He also discussed his experience as a news correspondent and how it's helped him in his career. 

But the main highlight of the episode was his current project, Base, a community building app that connects individuals in their city with a curated experience to meet other interesting people. And as a bonus, Kaben also gave some valuable tips for those on their own entrepreneurship or creative journey. He even made himself available to anyone who wants to run an idea by him or ask questions. Tune in to this episode to learn from one of the best in the industry!
