This was a great convo with one of my portfolio companies - if you're considering moving to a 4-day workweek (or even just trying to reduce meetings in your week), this episode is a must-listen!.

Looking for a really thoughtful approach to customer experience? This podcast is for you. Louisa talks about building a brick and mortar company with a laser focus on the target customer and their needs. Worth a listen for all founders building consumer facing businesses.

I really enjoyed talking to @jurhyu on this topic. For all those considering exiting their businesses at some point in the future, Ju has some great advice and learnings that are worth a listen.

This was a fun one. @MichelleRazavi gets into the nitty gritty of selling into a huge retailer, with only a two-person full time team. If you're a founder considering big-box wholesale, this is the episode for you!.

Cap tables are important but most founders don't spend nearly enough time on them. @jefielding's deck on this is a must-read: I also did a @retailxseries podcast on this for even more on the topic:

I check DMs for founder pitches but many miss the mark. My advice? Be very succinct and to the point. No mystery clues to try to get me on the phone or “learn more”. Just use the DM as the pitch, tell me exactly what your business solves, and I’ll ask more if I’m interested. 🪄.

Loved talking to @leigh_sevin91 about this very timely topic, and her take on how a founder's vision needs to align to the right type of funding.
