Arlan gives her thoughts on the daily nuances and imperfections of entrepreneurship, how she handles the bigger challenges at Backstage, and how self-care can make you a better founder.

These bonus notes are raw clips with no editing of spontaneous thoughts from Arlan – an intimate, "fly on the wall" look into what's on her mind. These occasionally released bonus clips dive deeper into the dozens of FAQs Arlan receives regularly, peel apart her thesis, and get REAL about venture capital.

In this episode, we test Arlan’s encyclopedic knowledge of General Hospital, dive into her childhood entrepreneurial stirrings, and discover how she found her place in the tech world.
