Curiosity as an Early-Stage Superpower [Podcast]
Magic 8 Ball with Melissa and Micaela is back for a second season! This time Melissa Withers and Micaela Kamp are digging into the messy reality of early stage investing and biz building when the rules change faster than the playbook. Access the full season here.
Curiosity as an Early-Stage Superpower
What separates founders who skillfully navigate uncertainty from those who get stuck? Micaela Kamp knows: curiosity. Not as just a personality trait, but as a discipline. And in early stage, it might be the sharpest tool in the room. In this episode, M&M break down how asking better questions unlocks smarter decisions, builds stronger teams, and clears the path forward — even when you don't have all the answers. Because in a world where the playbook keeps changing, the founders who win aren't always the ones who know the most. They're the ones who keep asking.
Join us as MW and MK shake the Magic 8 Ball and wonder — what if the right question is the answer?
