Reshma Saujani - "How can I get people to invest in my new project?"

23m · Fixable · 26 Jun 04:00

Reshma is the co-founder of Girls Who Code, and she’s embarking on a second time founder journey now with her new organization Moms First. And she says being a second time founder is, in some ways, even harder than going at it completely green. So her question is, how do you reconnect to motivation for a project you love and feel passionate about – but which (for mostly external reasons) is maybe not organically as energizing as previous projects?

The episode Reshma Saujani - "How can I get people to invest in my new project?" from the podcast Fixable has a duration of 23:03. It was first published 26 Jun 04:00. The cover art and the content belong to their respective owners.
