What’s on the top of your New Year’s resolutions to-do list? On this episode, host Rana Campbell celebrates THREE YEARS OF DREAMS IN DRIVE and dives into some brief takeaways she’s learned along the ways. We then chat with Foundermade CEO Meghan Asha about how shifting from an AM I? to an I AM mentality helped fuel her growth and ability to build and execute on her dreams. Meghan shares the lessons she’s learned building FounderMade, a platform and conference series that connects consumer brands to retailers, distributors and investors. Under her leadership and commitment to merging support and connection for entrepreneurs, FounderMade has partnered with innovative brands including Estee Lauder, RXBar, BulletProof Coffee, Vital Proteins, Target and Starbucks.
Meghan’s experience is vast: Over her career, she’s worked as an analyst for a venture capital firm, interviewed leaders of technology companies for a weekly internet talk show, and built her own digital media platform. Meghan currently serves as an advisor and investor in several consumer product and technology startups and is a partner at FounderMade Fund. She received her BS from the University of Southern California and an MBA from Columbia Business School.
Some of the topics we discuss include:
– What inspired Meghan as a child
– Why there’s no formula to finding your passion
– Asking the question “When I’m 90, what will make me happy?”
– Why you have to protect your dream
– How to bounce back from challenges
– How to connect with people you want to learn from
– The keys to a successful event
– Skillsets you won’t learn in business school
– Why you need a clear thesis
– Successful startup must-dos
– Shifting from an AM I? to an I AM mentality
