The Circle That Keeps Founders Going

The Circle That Keeps Founders Going

Had coffee with Sabrina Riddle, cofounder of Madison Reed.

Every time I sit down with someone who’s been through it, I’m reminded how hard this job really is, and how much lighter it gets when you can talk openly about the messy parts with people who’ve already walked the path.

The best founders I know do two things at once: learn from the people ahead of them, and make time for the people coming up behind them.

It all becomes a circle.

Grateful to be in it.
