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 Founder 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.

speaking out. It's speaking out in doing so with the right messaging and in the right way. A few weeks

ago, I shared an episode about navigating social media during a crisis.
