You have to see it as a startup.

You probably need to love it so much, you’d do it for free, at least at the beginning.

Hear why in this quick episode or cruise down the transcript.

(I wish there were a group of folks building community and networks to support each other - if you know of one, or want to convene us, let me know!)

Thanks for reading!
