Episode 50 - Nov 3, 2022

Founders come in all shapes and sizes! You don’t have to be the loudest voice in the room.

Not all founders have to have a crazy ego, and OTT confidence.

It takes all sorts, and yet the quieter / less confident ones have traditionally been overlooked.

“Brave founder stories”

  • The world doesn’t end if you do something against a societal norm.
  • Can you be a little braver today?
  • Learn from others around you who are - it will rub off.

    • This happened in real life....

    1. Remember - the person who ran out of a conversation mid sentence to chase down a VC
    2. Remember - the person who ignored the rules, and used all their connections to get into that party and the accelerator.


      3. Need more proof - that many people struggle with this too….

      Building in Public:

      • Tell people what you are doing!!!
      • They will come to you (I literally said about an event, and 10 people came to talk to me).


        • Come meet other founders....

        Come to my next founders coffee: Small group Wednesday 3pm nr Grand Central.
