Why Most Entrepreneurs Solve the Wrong Problem
- Episode #250
What if the real thing holding your business back isn’t strategy, tech, or marketing, but the wrong problem entirely? Entrepreneur and Systems Thinker Anke Herrmann, founder of Planet Calm, joins Michi Lantz for a conversation about calm business growth, self-trust, entrepreneurship, and why most founders are solving the wrong problem while expanding their business.

Anke Herrmann helps mission-driven founders and experts navigate the messy middle of building meaningful work. A former software developer, she brings a systems thinker’s approach to business growth. She doesn’t just design the infrastructure that allows their business to grow without chaos, but also helps “debug” the beliefs that quietly erode clients’ self-trust when uncertainty increases. She’s the author of Taming the Tech Monster, host of the Soul Touched by Dogs podcast, and co-founder of Planet Calm, a new ecosystem exploring what business, life, and our relationship with dogs can teach us about building calmer, more intentional success. In her upcoming book, Trust Yourself Anyway … When Business Growth Feels Like Running Uphill in Flip-Flops, she offers a methodical way to thrive in an environment where uncertainty isn’t the exception, but the norm.
