Susan Tynan and Jenna discuss how Framebridge is making framing as simple and cost-effective as it's ever been and the team's goal to give everyone who sees something beautiful the opportunity to relive the moment. Susan discusses the scaling challenges of distinguishing what you will never change and what you have to change in order to grow. At Framebridge one value always reigns: "Each one is the only one — because for our customers it is." We chat about how Framebridge navigated blowing past an early Father's Day promotion and dug out of going from a 48-hour turn around to a 15-day turn around. Susan also shares how she utilizes the military OODA loop — Observe, Orient, Decide, Act — to make decisions quickly, why she always asks everyone for their opinion, and tips to context switch from high-level strategy discussions to granular details.

Tammy Sun and Jenna discuss how companies are currently offering fertility care benefits and the ways Carrot is helping them customize programs to offer their employees. Tammy emphasizes that fertility care is a fundamental part of human healthcare not solely women's healthcare and shares Carrot's hope that fertility benefits become synonymous to other healthcare benefits, like vision and dental. We walk through tactics for companies to approach and implement fertility benefits at their companies and how to discuss them with your team. We also chat about Tammy's career starting at The White House and transitioning to tech, lessons she's learned about breaking down challenges and relentlessly executing on your deliverables, and the importance of recognizing that change is happening — "Lesson 1: Just Start. Lesson 2: Once you start, keep going. If you give up you are automatically out. There are a lot of things that can destroy your company. But there's one thing that you have control over: You will not die because you gave up."
