I have just wrapped up a 13 week incubator for Techstars and this is the question that comes to mind… 

What does it take to grow, lead, and adapt in the fast-paced world of entrepreneurship? 

In this episode of The Essential Shift Podcast, I’m doing a deep dive on the transformative 13-week experience in the Techstars Accelerator with Understanding Zoe (my new startup). 

From the challenges of pitching on day one to the triumph of Demo Day, each week brought powerful lessons that have forever shaped how I approach business, leadership, and resilience.

Whether you’re a small business owner or a seasoned entrepreneur, these lessons will inspire and equip you to navigate growth with confidence.
