GovCon pivot, entrepreneurship transitions, and building a business in alignment with Tasha Jones, government contracting expert, founder of Twenty39, and former intelligence analyst turned executive.
Tasha Jones has spent over two decades inside the government contracting ecosystem, from active duty Navy intelligence analyst to GS-15 at the FBI, to beltway circuit executive, to independent consultant. This episode is the unfiltered version of that journey.
She and Claudia get into what it felt like to watch an 18-month pipeline built on seven teaming agreements and $370,000 of investment simply evaporate. They talk about grief as a real response to business loss, why pivoting always costs more than people admit, and how Tasha finally found alignment, not by staying the course, but by reading the room early enough to build something new.
Tasha is now building a consultant collective model that lets independent experts scale revenue, share infrastructure, and serve both public and private sector clients without losing ownership of their work or their clients.
This conversation is for entrepreneurs who are tired of hearing "you just need to diversify" from people who don't understand what diversification actually costs.
