Badalona's Builders: A Unique Path to Entrepreneurship

Badalona, Spain: A Construction Hub Forging Entrepreneurs Badalona, a city in Spain, is known for its strong concentration of construction workers. Many believe that working in construction provides a unique and valuable education in business. An interview on the BLV podcast highlights this, featuring José Elías who asserts that "the construction site is an authentic business school." He points to the experience gained in managing risks, dealing with delayed payments (up to 180 days), and working under pressure as invaluable entrepreneurial lessons. The interview suggests that the hands-on experience in construction provides a practical education not easily replicated in a classroom. This perspective challenges traditional views on business education, suggesting that real-world experience can be a powerful force in developing successful entrepreneurs.
