Ep 31: Surthriving Seed Stage

After a two week hiatus, I am back with another Rocket Ship Founder Podcast Episode. My hiatus was due to taking my 21-year old to LA for treatment for a recurring debilitating condition. During the trip down to LA from our home in Portland, the days leading up to the procedure, and the procedure itself,  the universe threw us a bunch of curveballs. Our train was canceled There was a med van ride from hell There was an actual 4.2 earthquake, A broken MRI machine And a scary twist in the procedure itself We are home now safe and sound and our kiddo is recovering. I'm getting back in the swing coaching my Founder clients. But I keep thinking about that trip. It felt we would swing from surviving to thriving from day-to-day. Even moment-to-moment. We got thrown really big challenges and threw all our ingenuity and resources at it. And got through it.  And while the stakes are very different, it reminded me of my Seed Stage Founder journey - and what my clients experience as well. The challenges sometimes come fast and furious. One minute you are thriving with a big win. The next you are surviving a sudden a existential challenge. And then back again. It comes so fast you might as well smash "survive" and "thrive" together. You are "Surthriving." In this week's episode I share: Update on my recent Odyssey to LA and back Why "Surthrival" is the perfect way to describe the Seed Stage  journey Three keys to Surthriving PS If you are a  Founder who is is ready for a new level of support "surthriving" Seed Stage, let's talk. I've got space for one more client. Set up a time here.
