| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Dear Founder, the podcast that pulls back the curtain on what it really takes to build and grow a successful business. |
| 0:10.8 | No gatekeeping, no fluff, just real talk. |
| 0:15.1 | I'm your host, Lindsay Pinchot, award-winning entrepreneur, founder, and proud member of the 1% of female founders who've led |

| 0:34.3 | here has grown into a movement supporting female entrepreneurs like you |
| 0:38.9 | through not only this show, but also on our social media, at our live events, and in our |
