This week I'm excited to share my conversation with my friend, Robyn Ward - Founder and CEO of FounderForward- a coaching and consulting firm that she runs out of Los Angeles. She helps founders and teams at high-growth companies unleash their full potential and operate and peak performance and impact. Robyn and I met in the LA Tech Market back in the day, and she’s become a close friend to my wife, Holden, and me. This episode is for anyone with a growth mindset interested in peak performance, as well as community building in the tech sector.
What we covered:
