After facing a period of anxiety at the start of a new demanding job, Sarah McDevitt discovered meditation and the transformative power it had in shifting her mindset and helping her cope with stress. This experience inspired her to launch Core, a personal meditation trainer that uses dynamic vibrations to help you stay focused.

Today, Sarah joins us to share her experience building Core. She talks about how shifting her mindset changed her fundraising experience and why a single thing won’t ever make or break a business. She discusses her background with meditation and shares how it helped her navigate a stressful time in her life. She shares how she deals with failure and what she believes it ultimately means. She shares how Core has implemented a work culture that encourages its employees to bring their whole self to work. She talks about why she reminds herself that, while she is the CEO of Core, Core does not represent her whole identity. She also discusses the importance of owning how you want to impact the world.

“One of the things I’ve learned is to be extremely direct about the ask at the end of a pitch. And it’s less like, ‘So, will you give us money?’ It’s more, ‘Are you going to join this journey?’”
