    Why You're Still Waiting to Feel Ready | Servane Mouazan

    Why do so many people wait to feel ready — before starting, before speaking up, before stepping into something new? And what if the question you're asking is the wrong one entirely? In this episode of Catch The Upswing, Jessica Espinoza speaks with Servane Mouazan — coach, mentor, board member, and one of the most thoughtful voices in leadership and social impact. For more than two decades, Servane has helped entrepreneurs, investors, and changemakers build careers, organizations, and lives they can actually sustain. Her approach is radical in its simplicity: slow down, ask better questions, and stop looking for other people to give you the answers. Together, they explore confidence, mentoring, leadership, resilience, entrepreneurship, and what it actually means to build a meaningful life and career in uncertain times. This is a conversation about getting out of your own way, learning to think for yourself, and understanding that confidence doesn't come first. It comes from doing. 🎙️ In this episode, we explore: Why the best mentors give less advice — not moreThe difference between coaching, mentoring, sponsorship, and peer learningWhy most people ask "how" before they know "what" or "why"What actually makes someone board-readyHow to navigate being the only different voice in the roomThe difference between endurance and true resilienceWhy pushing through isn't always the answerHow to build confidence step by step — without waiting to feel readyWhat sustainable leadership actually looks like from the insideSmall daily practices that help you stay grounded while doing demanding work 🔗 Connect with Servane Mouazan: Website: https://servanemouazan.co.uk/Podcast: Be & Think in the House of TrustLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/servanemouazan/Instagram: @servanemouazan ⏱️ Chapters: 00:00 Trailer 00:46 Welcome Back: Meet Servane Mouazan 03:15 "I'm a Thinking Partner for People Who Want to Get Out of the Numbness" 05:30 What Makes a Mentoring Program Actually Work 10:42 Coaching vs Mentoring vs Sponsorship vs Peer Learning 14:22 What the Best Mentors Actually Do 18:24 "Shut Up and Not Give Advice" 21:08 How to Help Someone Find What They Actually Want 28:45 The Entrepreneur Who Thought They Wanted Freedom 38:54 What Actually Makes Someone Board-Ready 42:12 How to Get a Board Seat — Without Asking Directly 49:33 "You're Not There to Sit.

    Why Trying To Change The World Can Break You | Bonnie Chiu & Tara Sabre Collier

    What Nobody Tells You About Creating Change | Laura Coryton & Rachael Crook

    Why do some people spend years fighting for change — long before anyone notices the result? And what does it actually take to keep going when people dismiss your ideas, systems resist change, and success feels impossibly far away? In this episode of Catch The Upswing, Jessica Espinoza speaks with Laura Coryton and Rachael Crook — two women who turned frustration, setbacks, and difficult personal experiences into movements and businesses that created real-world impact. Laura Coryton led the campaign to end tampon tax in the UK and helped change legislation across Europe. Rachael Crook built a technology platform helping solve critical shortages in the care sector after witnessing firsthand how difficult it can befor families to navigate care systems. Together, they explore resilience, campaigning, entrepreneurship, empathy, criticism, leadership, and the “hard years” nobody sees behind meaningful change. This is aconversation about staying in the arena, building through uncertainty, and continuing even when progress feels invisible. 🎙️ In this episode, we explore: The absurd policies that exposed sexism in the tax systemHow Laura Coryton helped end tampon tax in the UKWhy meaningful change almost never happens quicklyThe emotional reality of entrepreneurship and leadershipWhat caregiving taught Rachael Crook about resilience and empathyWhy criticism from the sidelines matters less than staying “in the arena”The hidden emotional cost of trying to create changeWhy empathy is one of the most underrated leadership skillsHow to keep going when your first ideas failThe mindset shifts that help people persist through difficult years 🔗 Check out Laura Coryton’s work:Website: https://lauracoryton.com/ Sex Ed Matters: https://sexedmatters.co.uk/ 🔗 Check out Rachael Crook’s work:Lifted: https://www.lifted-talent.com/ 🔗 Additional resources:Obama Foundation Leaders Program: https://www.obama.org/programs/leaders/Care Economy Knowledge Hub (Kore Global): https://www.the-care-economy-knowledge-hub.org/ ⏱️ Chapters: 00:00 Trailer04:19 Episode Starts: Meet Laura Coryton & Rachael Crook06:54 “Who Is Making These Decisions?”11:41 Watching Someone You Love Disappear15:03 “There Was Nothing To Help Us”20:05 The People Holding Society Together22:01 How Laura Changed UK & European Law27:36 “Nobody Sees The Hard Years”31:18 The Moment Rachael Nearly Quit35:09 Why Most People Never Start40:45 The Leadership Skill Nobody Talks About46:05 The Exercise That Changed How She Lives50:12 “We Are Making Money And Changing Lives”56:34 “Be More Ambitious”01:01:05 Life Belongs To People In The Arena01:08:42 Rapid Fire Round01:13:26 “Getting Punched Is Part Of It”   📺 Watch more episodes: Catch The Upswing is a business podcast exploring howpeople build, lead, and navigate complexity in a rapidly changing world.

    Why Great Founders Get Rejected | The Hidden Bias in Venture Capital

    Why do great founders still get rejected — even when they have strong ideas, traction, and experience? In this solo episode of Catch The Upswing, Jessica Espinoza unpacks one of the most persistent — and least visible — dynamics in venture capital: The hidden patterns that shape who gets funded, who gets overlooked, and why. Because what looks like a funding gap on the surface often starts much earlier: in the questions being asked,the assumptions investors make,and the signals they respond to without even realizing it. 🎯 In this episode: Why strong founders still struggle to raise capitalHow small differences in pitch conversations shape major outcomesThe hidden patterns behind many investment decisionsWhy this is not just a pipeline problemWhat changes when capital flows differentlyAnd why better investment decisions are also a massive economic opportunity Some of these dynamics are subtle.Some are systemic. All of them shape the future of innovation. ⏱️ Chapters 00:00 Introduction — The question behind the funding gap 00:33 The reality: 2% of venture capital 01:30 This is not a performance problem 02:05 Why the gap persists 02:45 Two founders, two different questions 03:45 How bias shapes investment decisions 05:20 It’s not a talent problem — it’s capital allocation 06:00 What changes when women invest 07:25 The economic case for investing in women 08:15 What’s at stake: markets, growth, and innovation 09:20 The real opportunity   🎙️ Catch The Upswing explores ideas that spark resilience,opportunity, and inclusive growth — through conversations with investors, founders, and leaders shaping what comes next.

    Who Writes the Checks Shapes What Gets Built | Marla Shapiro

    What happens when the people writing the checks start to change? In this episode of Catch the Upswing, Jessica Espinoza sits down with Marla Shapiro, Managing Partner of Hermesa, for a candid conversation about angel investing, founders, power, and the real mechanics of capital. This is a conversation about what gender-lens investing actually means in practice — not as a slogan, but as a question of who gets funded, who becomes an investor, and how that shapes the future of business. Marla shares why so many women are still underrepresented not only as founders, but also as investors… why access to capital matters more than endless advice… what first-time angel investors need to know… and what founders often misunderstand about fundraising, networks, and how investors really make decisions. They also talk about the businesses that get overlooked, the discipline required to build a serious angel portfolio, and why long-term change depends not only on opportunity, but on ownership, wealth creation, and who gets to sit at the table. If you are a founder, investor, operator, or simply curious about how capital really works behind the scenes, this episode is packed with practical insight. Disclaimer: This podcast is for informationalpurposes only and does not constitute financial or investment advice. Always do your own research and consult a qualified financial professional before making financial or investment decisions. 🎙️ In this episode, we explore: what gender-lens investing actually meanswhy it matters who writes the checkshow women are becoming angel investors for the first timewhy women are often over-mentored and under-fundedwhat founders should understand about fundraising and warm introductionshow investors think about exits, returns, and long-term valuewhy capital allocation shapes what gets builtwhat it takes to change power dynamics in early-stage investing 🔗 Follow Marla’s work: HERmesa https://hermesa.co.uk/ Marla Shapiro on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marlagshapiro/ 🔗 Referenced in this episode: Research on women angel investors suggests that women investing in women-only groups tend to make more investments than those in mixed groups — highlighting the role of access, confidence, and peer dynamics in shaping participation: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/342818236   ⏱️ Chapters 00:00 Trailer 00:47 Who Gets to Write the Checks 02:15 Why Angel Investing Still Looks the Same 04:12 How to Become an Angel Investor 07:57 “Women Are Over-Mentored and Under-Funded” 10:30 What Gender-Lens Investing Actually Means 13:06 Inside Finance: What It’s Really Like 18:26 The Challenge of Building Something New 21:47 The Kinds of Businesses HERmesa Backs 27:34 What Founders Actually Need from Investors 31:56 AI, Deep Tech, and What Investors Are Watching 36:11 The Biggest Risk Marla Took 44:36 Changing the Narrative Through Capital 49:34 Fundraising Realities & Founder Advice   📺 Watch more episodes: Catch The Upswing is a business podcast exploring how people build, lead, and navigate complexity in a rapidly changing world.

    What it really takes to build something when no one believes in you | Jana Degrott & Gosia Kramer

    What does it actually take to build something from nothing? Not in theory — but in reality. In this episode of Catch The Upswing, Jessica Espinoza speaks with Jana Degrott and Gosia Kramer about what it really means to take risks, move through doubt, and build something when there is no clear path — and no external validation. From navigating self-doubt and the fear of judgment to making bold decisions — like selling your house to start a business — this conversation goes beyond inspiration and into the lived reality of entrepreneurship. Jana reflects on identity, confidence, and the internal barriers that hold people back, while Gosia shares what it looks like to build from nothing — facing skepticism, financial pressure, and the day-to-day realities of turning an idea into something real. This is a conversation about building — and what it actually demands. 🎙️ In this episode, we explore: • Why fear of judgment is one of the biggest barriers to starting• The difference between inspiration and actually taking action• How self-doubt shapes decisions — and how to move beyond it• What it really looks like to build something from nothing• Taking financial and personal risks as a founder• The reality of cash flow and long-term vision• Why most people don’t start — and what it takes to do it anyway• Finding the right people — and thinking beyond your immediate environment — 🔗 Check out Jana & Gosia’s work: Jana Degrott LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jana-degrott-b15646114/Instagram: @janadegrott Gosia Kramer LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gosia-kramer-08a29ba0/Instagram: @gosiakramer ⏱️ Chapters: 00:00 Episode Start 00:01 Intro 01:20 Welcome Jana Degrott & Gosia Kramer 03:10 “Mini Jana” — Growing Up Without Confidence 07:30 The Fear of Judgment (And Why It Holds People Back) 12:40 “People Don’t Really Care” — The Mindset Shift 16:30 From Self-Doubt to Taking Action 21:10 Selling a House to Start a Business 26:00 “Nobody Believed in It” 30:40 Building From Nothing — No Windows, No Electricity 35:20 When Things Go Wrong: Failure & Hard Lessons 40:10 Cash Flow, Pressure, and Founder Reality 45:30 Why Inspiration Is Not Enough 49:20 Finding the Right People (And Leaving the Wrong Ones) 54:10 Building Something That Doesn’t Exist Yet 58:30 What It Really Takes to Keep Going 1:02:00 Final Reflections — 📺 Watch more episodes: Catch The Upswing is a business and leadership podcast exploring how people build, lead, and navigate complexity in a rapidly changing world.
