In this Seed to Harvest episode, host Paige Finn Doherty introduces the show’s focus on founders, investors, and creators, then dives into a conversation with a guest who specializes in helping founders embrace emotional risk and develop self‑coaching abilities. The guest explains that their success metric is whether they can empower a founder to coach themselves, emphasizing the importance of moment‑by‑moment response choices and self‑awareness. Throughout the episode, they discuss practical tactics, mindsets, and frameworks that enable founders to navigate uncertainty, make intentional decisions, and build internal resilience without relying on a single "right" answer.

I'm really good at helping founders lean into and take emotional risks. My internal motivation and mark of success is, can I teach this person to coach themselves? It's not that there is one right way to respond. It's how am I choosing to respond in this moment and how aware of that am I?
Welcome back to Seed to Harvest, a podcast with founders, investors, and creators. About their stories, tactics, and frameworks. I'm your host, Paige Finn Doherty.
