EP 35: After 11 months- we’re back.

We dive into where the f*ck we’ve been and scratch the surface on what the f*ck has happened since our hiatus.

But first, we focus on the power of “just starting” as a key component of winning.

We discuss how important it is to stick to a plan and touch on the uncertainty and difficulty of pulling back when you are on a roll in order to balance the see-saw of momentum in a business.

Learnings from our last $10 Million dollar raise are shared with key takeaways on:

-how to keep investors and key relationships looped in when you aren’t ready for them,

-why our fundraising process is successful: the power of content and building out loud,

-the importance of demanding what you want and staying true to who you are, and worrying not about your competition- but only about your customers.
