He was put on child support at just 12 years old.By the time Lionel “TJ” Tillman learned what had happened, he says he was already $24,000 in debt—despite the court determining that he had not reached puberty when the child was conceived.After fighting the case for more than two decades, proving that the process involved extrinsic fraud, and eventually recovering his money, TJ is no longer focused solely on his personal battle.Now, he is taking the system to Congress.In this powerful episode of Inside the Vault with Ash Cash, TJ introduces the proposed Bringing Families Back Together and Child Support Equity Act of 2027—a bill created to promote equal parenting, due process, financial fairness, transparency, and healthier relationships between children and both fit and present parents.Ash and TJ examine some of the most controversial questions surrounding family court and child support:Can someone be held financially responsible without being the biological father?Why are some parents learning about child-support orders only after their wages are garnished?Are government incentives helping families—or rewarding separation?And why should a parent who is actively fighting to be present automatically be treated like an absent parent?TJ also makes one thing clear: this is not a “get out of responsibility” movement. He believes parents who refuse to support their children should be held accountable.His fight is for fairness, equal parenting, proper notice, due process, and a system that puts the well-being of children ahead of conflict between adults.This is not about mothers versus fathers.It is about choosing the children.Watch until the end to learn how you can support the petition, help bring the proposed legislation before Congress, and become part of a national movement to strengthen families.Sign the petition: change.org/childrenneedbothChapters00:00 – He was put on child support at 12 years old 01:08 – Message for entrepreneurs, coaches and business owners 02:05 – Protecting the family is a generational investment 03:04 – The Bringing Families Back Together and Child Support Equity Act 03:55 – “Take care of your children—this is not a free pass” 05:21 – Who is Lionel “TJ” Tillman? 05:38 – Put on child support at 12 and $24,000 in debt 06:32 – Could he have biologically fathered the child? 07:15 – Declared the legal father despite the court's findings 08:53 – Why outdated policies need to change 09:34 – Why TJ is taking the system to Congress 10:12 – Education, policy and prevention 11:18 – Does due process apply in family court? 11:51 – Equal parenting should begin at birth 12:53 – Georgia's legitimation process explained 14:11 – The $755 million child-support incentive claim 15:11 – Why TJ is pursuing federal reform 15:45 – Incentivizing families to stay together 17:25 – No parent should have to fight for their children 17:46 – Fathers ask for joint legal and physical custody 18:34 – How public assistance affected the family structure 19:35 – Who determines whether a parent is fit? 21:18 – Why must parents fight for more time with their children? 22:00 – “You want support, but you don't want support” 22:29 – TJ announces The Family Code podcast 22:39 – The hidden trauma families refuse to discuss 24:02 – Why TJ challenges the child-support system 24:17 – The Fourteenth Amendment and parental rights 26:47 – How claims can be presumed valid until challenged 27:43 – Proper notice before enforcement actions 28:17 – Discovering child support through wage garnishment 30:00 – Finding out on payday that half his check was gone 32:10 – Personal service versus substitute service 33:13 – Vindication after a 22-year fight 34:00 – The forged signature and vacant-house service 35:00 – Paying child support for 11 years 37:26 – Filing an insurance claim against Los Angeles County 38:30 – How TJ finally recovered his money 39:20 – Helping parents challenge their cases 40:15 – Why he refuses to assist irresponsible parents 41:41 – Raising his daughter as a single father 43:00 – Why children may need both parents 44:40 – The child-support-to-prison pipeline 46:47 – Are urban communities being disproportionately targeted? 48:14 – Is TJ trying to weaken child-support laws? 48:34 – Child support should apply to absent parents 49:22 – Equal parental rights and the “noncustodial” label 50:00 – Handling difficult co-parenting and parental alienation 51:10 – Support beyond money: emotional and physical presence 52:00 – Parenting education, therapy and conflict resolution 54:00 – What America could look like if the bill passes 56:47 – How viewers can support the proposed legislation 57:17 – TJ's direct appeal to Congress 58:25 – This is not men versus women 58:36 – Putting children ahead of pride and conflict 59:41 – “This is not an attack on women, men or child support” 1:00:04 – How to connect with TJ and the foundation 1:00:32 – Closing the VaultAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

This week on That Was Us…we're back with another Chat Was Us! This time, inspired by the many journeys of ambition and self-discovery in This Is Us, we're tackling one big question: What does it really mean to be successful? From chasing dreams and career milestones to fulfillment, purpose, and legacy, Mandy, Sterling, and Chris reflect on how their definitions of success have evolved over the years. In this episode, the hosts chat about: * How their definitions of success have shifted from external achievement to personal fulfillment * The difference between being successful and feeling successful * Why our brains naturally fixate on failure and how encouragement can quiet the inner critic * The role childhood competition, sports, and early ambition played in shaping their drive * Fame versus fulfillment, and how public recognition differs from lasting happiness * The career milestones that made them feel like they had finally ""made it"" * Why longevity, meaningful work, and the respect of your peers matter more than awards * The artists and mentors who have redefined success through decades of purposeful careers * Why passion (not money) is often the clearest path toward purpose * How luck, preparation, and saying ""yes"" to opportunity all play a role in building a career * Raising children to value effort, curiosity, and joy over simply winning * The legacy they hope to leave behind and what a truly successful life looks like at the end Plus, along the way, the conversation takes a few unexpected detours into childhood summers, Slurpees and hose water, youth sports, camp counseling, terrible self-talk, and an emotional compliment game that reminds the hosts just how much they mean to one another.

When my daughter Carys was 10, she started a pet-sitting business. She opened a Roth IRA with the income, built a client base of dog walkers and cat owners in our neighborhood, and figured out a system for remembering security codes only after a couple of alarms went off by accident. This episode is about that decision. Skills needed for entrepreneurship come from real clients and real consequences. A kid learns to be reliable because someone is counting on her. She learns to communicate clearly, and to recognize her own capacity before she hits the edge of it. That kind of learning comes from a parent who knows the difference between sage on the stage and guide on the side. I talk through what that looked like week to week: the systems Carys built on her own and the boundary she set with a client who wanted an early morning walk. I also discussed the lessons on money that came from managing income. If you've wondered how to raise entrepreneurs without turning it into your own project, this one is for you. Questions this episode will answer What skills does a child develop through entrepreneurship? Kids build reliability, organization, client communication, and the ability to recognize their own limits before they hit them. All of it develops through the pressure of real clients depending on them. How do you raise a child to think like an entrepreneur? Step back and ask questions instead of giving answers. Let a manageable mistake happen. A child develops judgment by using it, through real experiences. What are the benefits of entrepreneurship for kids? Beyond income, kids build boundary-setting, financial literacy, and confidence that carries into other parts of their life, including schoolwork and how they talk with adults outside the family. How do you teach a child financial responsibility? Let business income lead to real decisions about saving and giving some of it away. A custodial Roth IRA becomes possible once a child has earned income of her own, and that account can grow for decades. How do you encourage entrepreneurship in a child who hasn't shown interest yet? Start with what they already gravitate toward. Interest usually shows up before ambition does, and a child is far more likely to follow through on an idea that grew out of something they already care about. What does an entrepreneurial mindset look like in a young child? It looks like a kid solving a problem because she cares about the outcome. That mindset shows up in the systems kids build for themselves. It also shows up when a client asks for more than a kid wants to give, and she says so. What you'll learn in this episode Why starting young gives kids a different relationship with failure than starting as a teenager or adultHow a 10-year-old built her own system for managing client information, without being taught toWhat it looks like to teach entrepreneurship by asking questions instead of giving answersThe specific signs that tell a parent when to step in and when to let a struggle continueHow a custodial Roth IRA works, and why business income is what makes one possible for a childWhy a child setting her own boundaries with a paying client is not the same as being difficultHow entrepreneurship connects to skills most parents are already trying to teach through chores and consequences, and why it works differently Knowing when to help and when to step back is a skill You already have the instinct to support your child's curiosity. What the Learning Membership adds is the skill of knowing exactly when to step in and when to hold back, so you're helping your child solve their own problems instead of solving them for her. That's the whole method: see where your child is stuck and offer the smallest nudge that gets them moving again. It's grounded in real research on how learning happens. Practice it long enough, and it becomes second nature. When you join before the end of day, August 8, you'll also get free access to Mind Your Own Business: For Kids, the course Carys and I built after she started her own pet-sitting business. It walks kids through testing an idea with real clients, then growing it if it works. You'll also get the You Are Your Child's Best Teacher Masterclass, 60 minutes on spotting the learning your child is already doing and starting a learning journal to track it. Enrollment is open until August 26. Click the banner to learn more. Jump to highlights 01:58 Introduction to today's episode 06:33 When children take on entrepreneurial responsibilities early, they naturally develop the ability to manage their own school preparation and daily organization instead of relying on parents to remember everything for them 13:51 Reliability isn't some complex trait; it's simply the practice of consistently following through on commitments, and children learn this best when they face real but age-appropriate consequences for their choices 19:45 What kinds of businesses actually work for kids aged 8-12 years old? 25:01 The need to save for retirement reflects a broken system where community care has been replaced by individual financial responsibility, but teaching children some skills gives them the option to choose meaningful work over desperate survival while contributing to rebuilding more caring communities 33:45 Common concerns or issues parents express when they learn about a 10-year-old running their own business 50:10 If the idea of starting a business sounds interesting to you, where do you begin? 54:02 An open invitation for Mind Your Business: For Kids 54:52 Wrapping up

I talk with Naveen Jain, founder and CEO of Viome Life Sciences and author of Counterintuitive, about why entrepreneurs should focus on big problems instead of small ideas. We get into his framework of "why this, why now, why me," why non-experts often disrupt industries, how AI is changing work and healthcare, why personalized nutrition matters, and how parents can raise kids who are curious, resilient, and willing to build.

Mayssa Chehata is the founder of BEHAVE Candy, a low-sugar, clean-label candy brand that just landed in nearly 2,000 Target stores nationwide and sold out within the first week.But here's what you might not know. Two years ago, Mayssa was calling her lawyer to ask what bankruptcy would look like. She had left a dream career at the NFL, Uber, Daily Harvest, and SoulCycle to build a candy her diabetic father could finally eat. But after manufacturing failures, two reformulations, and a product she privately didn't believe in, she made the hardest call of her life: she paused the entire company for over a year. She moved to Mexico City because she couldn't afford her apartment in New York, personally guaranteed a bank loan, and hit what she calls her rock bottom. Then, with sixty days of cash left, she and her co-founder made one final plan. They called it burn the ships. Mayssa handed off everything and made TikTok videos all day, every day. Two weeks in, one video went viral and doubled the business overnight.In this week's episode, Mayssa shares why Uber was her real business school, the gut feeling she ignored for two years about her own product, and what it takes to shut down and rebuild a company from scratch. She opens up about how a manifestation book gave her the courage to leave corporate and the inner child work that finally unblocked her. She shares the daily practices that pulled her out of burnout, from meditation and journaling to nervous system regulation, why her coach told her the business wouldn't work until she fixed everything underneath it, and how she went from brute-forcing twelve-hour days to learning that a regulated, healthy founder builds a better business. Whether your business is thriving or barely surviving, this episode will change how you think about success, failure, and everything in between.In this episode, we'll talk to Mayssa about:* Why working at Uber felt like an entrepreneurial crash course. [02:49]* Building an ownership mindset by creating opportunities from scratch. [06:59]* The first signs she was meant to become an entrepreneur. [10:41]* Chasing wealth vs. discovering a mission worth building. [14:29]* Why she waited two years before launching the company. [20:16]* Navigating manufacturing challenges and finding the right production partner. [23:17]* How her father's diabetes inspired the idea for Behave. [25:23]* How manifestation gave her the confidence to leave corporate. [27:32]* Raising her first funding round and taking the leap into entrepreneurship. [33:11]* Launching Behave during the uncertainty of the pandemic. [37:21]* The product mistakes that nearly destroyed the business. [40:09]* Why she decided to pause production and completely reformulate. [46:41]* Surviving financial uncertainty, debt, and the threat of bankruptcy. [48:38]* Why getting funding still wasn't enough to save the business. [55:36]* Why a celebrity partnership wasn't the breakthrough they expected. [56:57]* Rebuilding herself through inner child work, spirituality, and manifestation. [58:11]* Betting everything on TikTok and finding a viral growth strategy. [01:01:40]* How one viral video transformed the business and led to Target. [01:05:08]* Growing beyond DTC by building a retail-first business. [01:06:40]* Redefining productivity, healing burnout, and leading from a healthier place.

Would you let your kid fail on purpose?John St. Pierre and Rich Hoffmann dig into a book called Raising an Entrepreneur and its 10 rules for parenting future founders, then talk through which ones actually hold up in real life.From a hockey injury that taught a bigger lesson than the scoreboard to an 11 year old selling car washes and protein balls door to door, they get into why letting kids lose, embracing adversity, and supporting even the smallest passion matters more than protecting them from failure. They also question whether straight A's help at all, why a non-parent mentor might matter more than either of them expected, and flip the whole conversation around to ask what these same rules mean for raising intrapreneurs inside a business.What you'll walk away with: why letting your kids lose is one of the most important things you can do for them, why supporting a passion matters more than whether it becomes a real business, why straight A's and traditional schooling might not nurture entrepreneurial thinking, why kids respond better to a mentor who isn't their parent, and how these same parenting principles apply to leading intrapreneurs at work.Hosted by John St. Pierre and Rich Hoffmann, Entrepreneurs United is built for founders and leaders who want straight talk on building businesses that actually work.

You know Dr. Eric Thomas (ET the Hip Hop Preacher) as the motivational voice in your ear at 4 a.m. telling you to "rise and grind."

In Part 2 of this Deep Dive series, host Dr Shae speaks with Nick Nagzam and introduces the show's mission to share honest conversations and build community around dyslexia and other neurodivergent conditions, then moves into a discussion about working from home in a global, largely neurodivergent team and how home “distractions” can be less disruptive than office interruptions. Nick shares how differences between his sons became clear during COVID lockdown homeschooling, leading to one child's autism diagnosis at age four, and how a second child's ADHD became more apparent after breaking his femur and losing physical outlets like sport. They discuss day-to-day family strategies such as running for self-regulation, setting device limits and screen lock times, bedtime wind-down routines, and sleep supports including slowrelease melatonin. The guest also highlights support resources like Amaze and Autism Connect and learning through books. 00:00 Podcast Welcome 00:35 Remote Work Reality 03:19 Kids Diagnoses Story 05:29 Injury Reveals ADHD 07:25 Family Coping Strategies 09:44 Screens and Sleep 11:34 Finding Support 14:06 Resources and Wrap U About Dear Dyslexic Podcast The Dear Dyslexic Podcast amplifies the voices, experiences and expertise of people from the dyslexia and broader neurodivergent communities, creating conversations that inform, empower and inspire.

Send us Fan MailFreya Maberley's family are all neurodivergent. Her siblings/parents and grand parents were all undiagnosed. She was diagnosed ADHD at 53, and she is Autistic too, and proud! Her brother is undiagnosed AuDHD and her home growing up was dictated by anger and violence. She was always considered the 'normal" child in the family, but her high sensitivity meant that she became the responsible one, taking on the people pleaser role of the family dynamic.Freya's son is diagnosed AuDHD, dyslexic, dysgraphic. Her daughter undiagnosed AuDHD. Raising them was a constant battle of advocacy, being gaslit by the system, her own struggle to accept the diagnosis.Freya has created a technique called The White Room. A visualization that helps a person reclaim what was lost in interactions with others.  It's a kind of soul retrieval, without needing to be spiritual. It's a very grounded exercise, that once a person knows how to do it, they can do the visualization by themselves. Freya is working as a Therapist (Psychology, Social Work, Counseling and Animal Assisted Psychotherapy) in Victoria, Australia.Insta: @freyas_farm_ballaratFacebook: Freya's Farm: Animal Assisted TherapyTiktok: @freyas_farmSupport the show

John Taylor Gatto argues that "adolescence" as we know it is a modern invention, not a biological reality.

On his deathbed, Keith Titus told his son: "You're not welcome at Page. I have a plan, and you're not part of it." Three years later, the plan had failed. The company was down from 230 trucks to 70, losing a million dollars a year, and the bank had cut them off. Then Dan's mom — a 27-year school bus driver who never worked a day in the business — made a decision that changed everything: she put every dollar of her husband's life insurance into the company. "I grew up on a dirt-poor farm. I've got no problem going back there." In this episode, Dan Titus of Page Trucking sits down with us in upstate New York to share one of the most incredible comeback stories in bulk freight: five generations on the Titus family farm, a trucking company started in 1974 with $5,000 from his great-grandfather, losing his dad and grandfather a year apart, and rebuilding Page into 500 trucks, 900 trailers, and 650 families — hauling everything from grain to hazardous waste to 1,400° molten metal down the highway. Oh, and they heat their warehouses with Bitcoin miners. ⏱️ CHAPTERS 00:00 Outgrowing the building (again) 01:56 Five generations on the Titus farm — Cato, NY, since 1809 02:32 Dad starts brokering freight without Grandpa knowing 05:28 $5,000 from Great-Grandpa to start a trucking company 06:00 Why it's called "Page" — the $250 authority 08:07 Why his dad chose trucking over farming 13:24 "You're not welcome at Page" — his dad's dying plan 15:21 Mom inherits a collapsing business 21:05 Betting the life insurance money on the company 22:37 Half the pay, twice the hours — Dan comes home 25:45 Buying the business back from Mom 26:40 Teamsters, a $3M pension liability & near-bankruptcy 29:00 From 230 trucks… to 70… to 500 today 32:37 Closed-loop hauling: scrap, dross & aluminum 34:27 Hauling 1,400° molten metal on the highway 38:24 Overweight permits & custom trailer designs 43:40 The Goulet Trucking acquisition 51:42 Why waste hauling is huge in the Northeast 56:22 Heating warehouses with Bitcoin miners 01:04:18 Keith Titus — the next generation 01:09:45 No handouts: earning your way into the family business 01:14:25 The chip on his shoulder — out-innovating $20B competitors 01:20:38 "I'm not ready" — why Page will never sell 01:24:13 Raising sharks, not minnows ABOUT BULKLOADS We started 15 years ago connecting bulk carriers with shippers and brokers in the ag and bulk industry — and today we're much more than a load board.

Eight out of ten buyers say thought leadership shapes the decisions they make. Only six out of ten companies think thought leadership is critical to winning that business. That twenty-point gap is the starting point for Bob Buday's conversation with Donald Thompson on this episode of High Octane Leadership — and it's also the reason Bob thinks the rise of generative AI is such high stakes for the profession he helped invent.Bob isn't a recent arrival to this conversation. In 1987, he was on the marketing team at CSC Index that turned business reengineering into a five billion dollar consulting category, before “thought leadership” was even a phrase people used. He co-founded The Bloom Group, one of the first thought leadership agencies, in 1998, and launched Buday Thought Leadership Partners in 2020. His book, Competing on Thought Leadership, has won 13 publishing awards.Bob's read on that twenty-point gap: most firms treat thought leadership as a marketing checkbox, when the real value sits upstream, in the primary research that produces a genuinely new idea, and downstream, in whether the firm can actually deliver the expertise it's promoting at scale. He uses the rise and fall of CSC Index's grip on business reengineering to make the point — the idea traveled faster than the firm that invented it could capitalize on it.That's where generative AI enters the picture, and where the episode title comes from. If a firm can now generate a passable white paper with a few prompts, does it still need five editors and two researchers? Bob's answer cuts against the doom narrative: generative AI raises the floor on writing quality, which means the old advantage of just sounding smart disappears — and the bar moves entirely to original insight. He walks through his own experiment asking ChatGPT to compare The New York Times' and the LA Times' digital strategies, and what it revealed about scaling primary research with AI instead of replacing it.By the end, Bob makes the case directly: firms that gut their research teams down to one person running prompts are going to put out forgettable work. He thinks generative AI is going to grow the thought leadership profession, not end it — because more executives are going straight to ChatGPT and Gemini for answers, and the firms without substantial published thinking are the ones that won't get found.This is a conversation about what happens to expertise-based businesses when the cost of sounding smart drops to zero — and what still can't be faked.Key Talking PointsThe 20-Point Perception Gap — Why buyers rate thought leadership as more decision-critical than the firms selling it realize — and what that gap is quietly costing them.Thought Leadership Is a Business Strategy, Not a Marketing Tactic — Bob's case for primary research as the real starting point, with the white paper and the marketing push coming only after the big idea exists.The Supply Side Problem — Why generating demand for your expertise is worthless if only the report's authors can actually deliver it — and the CSC Index reengineering story that proves it.Generative AI Raises the Floor, Not the Ceiling — Why AI closes the writing-quality gap for mediocre firms, which means the real bar moves to original insight.Scaling Case Study Research with AI — Bob's own experiment comparing The New York Times' and LA Times' digital strategies using ChatGPT — and what it revealed about the future of primary research.The Veneer of Expertise — Why sounding smart and creating value are not the same thing, and the only advantage in thought leadership that actually lasts.About the GuestBob Buday is widely regarded as one of the founding figures of the thought leadership profession. In 1987, he joined the marketing team at CSC Index and helped turn business reengineering into a five billion dollar consulting category before “thought leadership” was a term anyone used. He co-founded The Bloom Group, one of the first thought leadership agencies, in 1998, and launched Buday Thought Leadership Partners in 2020. His book, Competing on Thought Leadership, has won 13 publishing awards. Bob also hosts the podcast Everything Thought Leadership and recently launched Inside the Game Changers, a documentary series on the making of influential management concepts — its first episode, produced with his son John Buday, explores the rise of business reengineering.ResourcesBob's Website: https://www.budaytlp.comEmail Bob: bob@budaytlp.comBob Buday LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bob-buday-81b45/Podcast — Everything Thought Leadership: https://www.youtube.com/@ETL-BTLPBook — Competing on Thought Leadership: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1646871006Donald Thompson LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/donaldthompsonjrDonald's Newsletter & Substack: https://substack.com/@donaldthompsonjrDonald's Books: https://donaldthompson.com/books-resources/Stay connected with Donald: Get his newsletter packed with actionable insights and the kind of straight-talk leadership intelligence that helps build authority, drive performance, and stay ahead of what's coming next: donaldthompson.com.

Sterling Seizert spent his career as a US Army Special Forces Green Beret, serving as a senior communications and intelligence sergeant in 10th Special Forces Group and as a Special Operations liaison at the US Embassy in Nigeria. When he transitioned out, he carried the same discipline into entrepreneurship, and today he's the founder of Patriot Capital and Legends Lodge, overseeing eight self storage facilities worth over 58 million dollars and serving 3,100 clients. He's also the author of the new book Buy Your Freedom. This one goes deeper than either man expected. Sterling opens with a harrowing 2013 combat story, then he and Larry get into how training builds calm under pressure, servant leadership in marriage, raising daughters who hold themselves to a standard, and why honesty in a home should be celebrated rather than punished.

Movement keeps you out of the rumination loop and steadily reveals the next right step. Marriage Is Service, Not Score — Approach your marriage as the person there to serve, and assume your spouse will meet you halfway. Keeping score guarantees you'll always find a way to justify why you're winning. Serve Without Being a Doormat — Servant leadership isn't groveling and it isn't domineering. Hold a real standard for how you're treated, model that same standard yourself, and pick the battles that actually matter. Assume the Best Interest — In conflict with someone close, ask whether they truly lack your family's best interest at heart. Nine times out of ten they don't, which turns the fight into the two of you against the problem. Celebrate Honesty, Don't Punish It — Make ownership safe. When kids know honesty is welcomed rather than met with punishment, you can address the actual problem instead of untangling a lie on top of it.   Links & Resources Episode page and all links: https://thedadedge.com/1510 Join the Dad Edge Alliance: https://thedadedge.com/join Dad Edge Boardroom Goal Setting Intensive (July 31, 8am central): https://thedadedge.com/goals Buy Your Freedom by Sterling Seizert: https://a.co/d/0fwMJAzB   Enjoyed This Episode?

Have you ever found yourself putting off the very marketing task that could help your farm grow? Writing the email. Launching the promotion. Recording the video. Raising your prices. Building the sales page. You know it needs to get done... but every time you think about it, you feel that heavy sense of dread. In this episode, I share a personal discovery that is challenging the the way I think about procrastination, marketing, and business growth. After catching myself avoiding two important projects this month, I realized something surprising: I wasn't avoiding the work. I was avoiding the story I was telling myself about the work. In this episode, we'll explore why your brain creates dread in the first place, why we often mistake uncertainty for difficulty, and why many farmers wrongly conclude they're "bad at marketing" when they're really just avoiding uncomfortable marketing tasks. Most importantly, I'll show you how to reinterpret dread -- not as a stop sign, but as a possible indicator that you're standing at the edge of growth. If you've been procrastinating on marketing, struggling to take action, or feeling stuck in your farm business, this episode will give you a completely new way to think about what's really holding you back.

Join Lindsay for a Dear FoundHer... Forum Virtual Open House and Networking Event on Thursday, August 20th. Click here to save your seat, it's free. She spent over a decade scaling two of Europe's most successful tech companies, reaching the C-suite along the way. Then she moved back to her hometown and nobody knew her name. That tension is the heart of this episode of Dear FoundHer, and it sets up one of the clearest examples of starting a business after corporate you will hear this year.Host Lindsay Pinchuk talks with Christine de Wendel, co-founder and U.S. CEO of Sunday, the digital checkout platform used in over 3,500 restaurants across the U.S., U.K., and France. Christine spent over a decade scaling two of Europe's biggest e-commerce companies before leaving corporate at 40 to build a company of her own. Her story shows what transitioning from employee to founder really looks like once the safety net disappears.Christine describes the three humbling months she spent building connections in Atlanta before the idea for Sunday took shape, and how a phone call from an old friend turned into a co-founding partnership. She also opens up about startup funding and whether having a male co-founder changed how easily she raised capital.Lindsay and Christine talk candidly about networking for women, credibility, and why making a career pivot later in life can be an advantage instead of a setback. If you have ever wondered whether starting a business after corporate means starting from zero, Christine's story offers a clear answer: the experience, relationships, and skills you have already built still count. Press play to hear how she used them to help raise $145 million for Sunday.Episode Breakdown:00:00 From Tech Executive to Unknown in Atlanta02:56 Christine's Path From Bain to Paris Tech05:47 Why She Waited Until 40 to Start08:25 Uprooting the Family and Moving to Atlanta11:43 The Phone Call That Became Sunday14:47 How the Sunday App Works16:33 A Review Turns Into Real Restaurant Change19:08 How Sunday Makes Money20:57 The 2021 Raise and What Came After22:45 Doubling Transaction Volume24:25 Why Restaurants Are Slow to Adopt26:15 Building Brand Ambassadors and Referral Networks29:47 Funding, Her Co-Founder, and Gender in Fundraising32:55 Motherhood, Pacing, and Doing It All36:46 Three Tips for Women Starting OutConnect with Christine de Wendel:Follow Sunday App on InstagramConnect with Christine on LinkedInSubscribe to The FoundHer Files Follow Dear FoundHer on Instagram Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm Hosted on Acast.

Gen Z is facing backlash over a new job interview trend: using smartphones for virtual interviews. Career experts and employers say phone interviews can hurt first impressions and raise questions about professionalism, communication skills, and workplace etiquette. Is this a generational shift in how people approach work, or a sign that basic career standards are disappearing?
