Going Fast vs. Going Forward [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.
Going Fast vs. Going Forward
When founders feel stuck, their first instinct is to crave speed. Move faster. Do more. Ship more. But moving faster in the wrong direction will only make matters worse. In this episode, M&M talk about what happens when founders confuse momentum with alignment, how misalignment can become a quiet crisis, and the questions worth asking when things feel off, but you may not be sure why.
Join us as MW and MK shake the Magic 8 Ball and wonder: are you going fast, or are you going forward?
