Welcome to Dear Founder, the podcast that pulls back the curtain on what it really takes to build and grow a successful business.

No gatekeeping, no fluff, just real talk.

I'm your host, Lindsay Pinchot, award-winning entrepreneur, founder, and proud member of the 1% of female founders who've led

their company to an acquisition. I bootstrapped my first company from $500 to seven figures

before selling it and learned more from the mistakes than from the wins. What started as a podcast

here has grown into a movement supporting female entrepreneurs like you

through not only this show, but also on our social media, at our live events, and in our

online community, The Deere Found Her Forum. Each week, I sit down with some of the most influential

female founders of our time to uncover the highs, the lows, the lessons,

and the moments that they thought they'd never make it, but did. This is a space for women

who want to build something meaningful, who believe in collaboration over competition, and

who know that success is sweeter when we share it, because here, there's no gatekeeping, just actionable advice,

honest conversations, and a whole lot of inspiration. So grab your coffee or your wine or whatever

it is that you're drinking, hit play, and let's build something amazing together.

Welcome back to Dear Founder. If you're new here, I'm Lindsay Pinchuk, founder, mentor, podcast host,

and someone who built a seven-figure business without a marketing budget, and then I sold it.

How did I do this? Well, the answer is easy. Marketing made simple. This is my method of building

and growing your business without a million dollars or a million

followers and anyone can take the simple strategies and use them to make an impact in your

business and your bottom line. Today's episode is for those of you who are feeling stuck or

overwhelmed or like you're spinning your wheels trying to grow your business. Sometimes

it really takes going back
