Where The F*CK Have We Been?
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. . . . Show Notes: We share our unorthodox approach to building a chocolate empire & how to win at raising capital, the importance of “just starting” and demanding what you want at all costs.
