Founder Hustle Melissa Bradley

First and foremost, as we embark on our "vacation with purpose," we extend our heartfelt gratitude to each and every one of you for tuning in and supporting Founder Hustle. One of our primary goals in creating this podcast was to assist New Majority founders in breaking free from the deficit mindset. We sincerely hope that, through your engagement, we've been able to realize this aim.

In today's episode, Melissa concludes this season by engaging in a conversation with Diana Willians, a familiar voice from our season one finale. Their discussion delves into the significance of taking a step back, as advocated by Mindelyn Anderson, and meticulously examining the data. Diana and Melissa want to craft content that is not only deeply impactful but also offers actionable insights, further enriching your entrepreneurial journey.

They reflect on their project's inception, driven by a desire to narrate authentic stories and transition individuals from mere inspiration to decisive action. As they look ahead, this core objective will steadfastly guide their path. In the words of the fictional character John Q, "it's not goodbye, it's see you later."
