In this episode, Bethany Corbin and Astrid Gyllenkrok discuss: Astrid's founder journey with LEIA Where to start with your own femtech companyHow to scale and when to push for growth How to remain resilient by surrounding yourself with peopleKey Takeaways: If you want to start your own femtech company, you need to start with data. Data drives value, which is necessary for people to sign off on your idea and use your product. Interview people from your target group and be open to understanding and exploring their needs - even if you think you know their pain points. To create system change, you need to add value to all key stakeholders. This means focusing on research and gathering information, especially in the beginning. Test products and analyze market fit. Make sure you are targeting the right users and work to build a product that actually solves their problems and needs. Once your product accomplishes this, then you can push for growth. To achieve sustainable growth, you need to have the right people on board. Surround yourself with people that will be there when you are succeeding and that will stay even when you are not. “Don't rely on old ways of doing things, create something that works for you and that you believe in and then run with it. Most processes are built from a male perspective. If something doesn't feel right, change it.” - Astrid GyllenkrokConnect with Astrid Gyllenkrok: Website: https://www.meetleia.com/en LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/leia-health/ | https://www.linkedin.com/in/astrid-gyllenkrok-kristensen-4231b211/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MeetLeia Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/meet_leia/ Connect with Bethany Corbin: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bethanycorbin Website: https://nixongwiltlaw.com/ Podcast: https://nixongwiltlaw.com/podcast-legally-femtech

In this influencer-fueled world, we are constantly told that we must hit certain milestones to be a 'real business.' But the truth is, out of the 28 million companies in the United States, only 4% ever reach $1 million in revenue. And from there, only about 1 in 10 makes it to $10 million in revenue. Scaling requires an intentional focus on the "four major decision areas every company must get right: People, Strategy, Execution, and Cash." So, how can you scale your STR business and achieve the growth you envision? We've just started reading Scaling Up: How a Few Companies Make It...and Why the Rest Don'twith the STR Legends Mastermind, and it's already been influential for our team. For the next four months we will devote an episode of Get Paid For Your Pad to going through the book's different sections, "People, Strategy, Execution, and Cash." On this episode of STR conversations, Eric and I share some of our key takeaways from the people section of Scaling Up. Listen in for an overview of such topics as the difference between a good manager and a great manager and how to hire the right people for every role on your team and then help them play to their strengths and grow. We share what an A-player is and what they bring to your team. Plus, the one thing that will make or break the success of every aspect of your company.

Luca, who has held several sales leadership and general manager positions in multiple software organizations over the past 20 years, offers golden lessons in hiring exceptional talent, credible leadership, and effective revenue forecasting. As Sprinklr's Chief Revenue Officer, Luca talks about the most challenging aspects of transitioning from a private to a public company, and the difference between having a committed versus a compliant team.

His experience includes both scaling rapid growth startups and IPO experience as well as overall operational management with large corporations globally. Meanwhile, his experience in acquisition includes both Geotel and Bladelogic generating a combined value of >3B$. Luca is a strong and committed supporter for the Istituto Serafico in Assisi, a unique institute specialized in the rehabilitation and long term care for children with severe multiple disabilities.QUOTESLuca on why managers need to have real, on the ground experience: "People sometimes underestimate that if you want to lead a team, you have to be credible. You have to know what you are talking about in detail. Because otherwise, there's no way you can inspire the people and coach them on a daily basis on what their job is about and how to do it better."Luca on what it takes to be a CRO of a public company: "Having the entire company able to actually make the customer happy and deliver value to the customer is the first thing. Because you can do all this new business that you want but if from the bucket you're going to continue to lose revenue, there's no way you can run a public company."Luca on the difference between commitment and compliance: "People tend to be compliant when you tell them what to do, and you do not explain why and what difference it can make for them. People are committed when they buy into something and it becomes their own stuff." Check out John McMahon's book here: https://www.amazon.com/Qualified-Sales-Leader-Proven-Lessons/dp/0578895064

If they don't, you could find yourself surrounded by a toxic culture that not only hurts business, but makes everyone miserable.

It is the 80th episode on my podcast channel. In 2020 I wanted to try how podcasts can bring value to my life science business community.One of the first speakers on the podcast was Alexander Belcredi, Phagomed. He and Co-CEO Lorenzo Corsini started their Company in 2015 and developed Alternatives to Antibiotics.; which was also the title of Episode #9 - Alternatives to Antibiotics. In April 2020, Alexander and Lorenzo were fundraising for their Company. Two years later, they signed an acquisition deal with the german Company BioNTech.After the acquisition, I sometimes heard on the market that Alexander and Lorenzo's success story came a bit unexpected.That's why I asked Alexander and Lorenzo to come back to the show to highlight how entrepreneurs create unexpected results in business.Topics we discuss in this episode:➡️ The Decision-Making Process to Start a Company➡️ How to Build Processes, Structures, and Teams➡️ The Reality of Fundraising➡️ The 5 Key Learnings of First-Time Founders➡️ And much, much more...Connect with the experts on the show:Alexander BelcrediLorenzo CorsiniYoutube Video

Last summer, former Outside/In host Sam Evans-Brown quit journalism to become a lobbyist for clean energy.He's not alone. Millions of people left their jobs or changed careers in the past couple years. But is the field of climate journalism going through its own “Great Resignation?” In a moment when the stakes are so high, are the people who cover the climate crisis leaving journalism to try to help solve it?Producer Justine Paradis talks with two reporters who recently found themselves re-evaluating their personal and professional priorities: one who left journalism, and another who stayed.Featuring Sophie Gilbert, Sam Evans-Brown, Stephen Lacey, Julia Pyper, Meaghan Parker, and Kendra Pierre-Louis.

LINKSThe podcast episode of Warm Regards that Justine mentions is “Apocalyptic Narratives, Climate Data, and Hope, with Zeke Hausfather and Diego Arguedas Ortiz”The history of objectivity is arguably one of the “great confusions of journalism.” In the early 20th century, reporter Walter Lippman and editor Charles Merz contended that objectivity is a practice akin to the scientific method. “The method is objective, not the journalist.”More recently, plenty of folks have commented on problems with “bias” in journalism, including Lewis Raven Wallace, Wesley Lowery, and Sam Sanders, who wrote, “The avoidance of the ‘perception' of ‘bias' ultimately means the only reporters to be trusted are those whose lives haven't been directly touched by the issues and struggles they're covering. And you [know] what that means.”Julia Pyper's podcast Political ClimatePost Script Media, Stephen Lacey's podcast companyHow cable TV covered climate change in 2021.Nate Johnson, a former journalist who left Grist to become an electrician, featured on How to Save a Planet.Kendra Pierre-Louis spoke in greater depth about her career and what it's like to be a Black woman in journalism with Mary Annaïse Heglar and Amy Westervelt on Hot Take.The Yale Climate Opinion Maps find that 72% of Americans believe in global warming, although just 33% report hearing about climate in the media at least once a week. You can explore the data and see how climate attitudes vary by state and county.For Sarah Miller, all the right words on climate have already been said. “I could end this story by saying ‘We kept swimming and it was beautiful even if it will all be gone someday,' or some shit, but I already ended another climate story that way.

For me it's what makes life so interesting.” -Doug Conant [8:29]On how to navigate imperfect jobs early in one's career. “For me it's about growth, and it's not just my growth, it's growth and contribution to others. And so I'm always looking through the lens of growing and contributing in a more substantial way.” -Doug Conant [9:22]“As a CEO, you're crazy if you think you're going to know everything. So you've got to be able to have a collection of people that know a lot about the subject matter expertise and then you've got to be incredibly fluent at orchestrating to optimize your effectiveness at calling on all those talents.” -Doug Conant [10:24]On leadership as a learnable skill: “I view leadership in a mastery model, you've got to become a craftsman at it. You apprentice, you study, you learn, and most of the time you do it by the seat of your pants, let's be honest.
