🚀📈💡 "It's not all about the idea, folks! It's about the execution." 💡📈🚀 💼 As entrepreneurs and startup enthusiasts, we often get so fixated on the brilliance of our idea that we forget the real magic lies in bringing it to life through strategic execution. 💪 📚 I remember a valuable lesson shared during my time at @collision2023: If you fear your startup can be stolen just by sharing the idea, then it's time to shift the focus. Successful startups are built on strong execution, dedication, and a relentless pursuit of excellence. 🏆 👉💼 Investors in early-stage startups understand the power of execution. They invest in the founders who have the vision, determination, and grit to turn ideas into reality. 💼🌟 🎥 I came across this insightful video in another community, @PORCH, and thought it perfectly captured the essence of what we go through as entrepreneurs. Sharing it here with all of you! 📽️🤝 #StartupMindset #ExecutionMatters #stevejobs #DreamBig #MakeADifference

The last couple weeks have been surreal. After 10 months of quietly working away on our new product, the Athlete Marketing Intelligence Platform, it felt really satisfying to finally release it to the world. And truthfully, I could not be happier with the response. The support and feedback we've received from our first cohort of users has our entire team fired up to keep taking this thing to the next level. 𝗪𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗶𝘇𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘆𝘇𝗲 𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗶𝗴𝗻𝘀. Now let's be real, we know the product is nowhere near perfect at this stage. It's tough to admit that, especially publicly... but it's simply the truth and I want to be open about that. With that said, it still seems to be solving a major pain point in the lives of brand marketers and that's all we can ask for in our MVP. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝘄𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿!! Please feel free to send this around to any marketers who may be interested to check the platform out themselves! For the next week, we'll be offering free trials in return for filling out a product feedback form.

Out of thousands of innovative companies all over the world, TechCrunch named Strong Haulers one of the top disruptive health-tech companies to take part in the #StartupBattlefield! We’ll be one of only 200 startups exhibiting at #TCDisrupt2023 in San Fransisco from September 19 - 21. Never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined that two years of sickness from #LongCOVID would inspire building a company on a mission to #MakeSymptomsPredictable for other patients. Opportunities like this trigger all sorts of feelings of imposter syndrome, nausea, but also responsibility; a responsibility to do everything I can to help others. The best piece of advice I've ever been given is to "Get in the arena!" I'm looking forward to doing just that. i'm grateful for the village of people who have supported us in this journey, namely Ahmad Garrett-Price MD, Kaakpema "KP" Yelpaala, Lenka Beranova, Ryan Prior, Will Gossin, Tara Cunningham, William Colegrove, Nate Pelzer, Ron Gibbs, Ragina A., Myeashea Alexander, and everyone at the Clinton Global Initiative University, Harris School of Public Policy at the University of Chicago, and The Rustandy Center for Social Sector Innovation.

Today has been an eventful day for Recess Labs and I'm here reflecting on some major lessons learned. I'd like to share these insights from a founder's perspective: **1. Access Matters** Today, I had the opportunity to pitch Recess to 18 executives Blue Cross Blue Shield for a pilot. Without Prosper HealthTech Accelerator advocating and opening doors for founders as core obective, we would not have gotten this opportunity. For smaller ecosystem builders, you must strive to open doors and find these key connections to see any measurable outcomes. We need it… we need to democratize access and opportunities, it’s the only way to drive inclusivity. **2. Location Matters** I also was invited to be on TechBirmingham ‘s panel on the future of healthcare innovation. One of the questions from the panel “Why Birmingham?" Truth is innovating in health is hard af! It can take 1-2 years from research to commercialization, followed by 12- 18 month sales cycles to close deals with hospitals and health systems. However, Birmingham is doubling down on its strengths, creating a space for healthcare innovators to move from 0 to 1 and even from 1 to 2. Founders, find the place, the people, and the environment that understand your vision. Sometimes, it’s not your product—it’s your location. **3. Community Matters** At the end of the day, for founders, especially CEOs of startups, it gets lonely. It feels like you're carrying so much weight alone. For me sitting with Paolo Alejandro Catilo and Patricia Kelly Marsh, MD debriefing the day, was just as valuable as meeting with the executives. So much perspective, insight and cross insight. We need more of that. **4. Economics Matter** I'll echo Ethan Summers on this one: it’s all about outcomes and cost!! Know the value you bring and tie it into the economic benefits. Today, during my pitch at Blue Cross Blue Shield, the key questions were about the reduction of claims and the reduction in time off how is it quantified . According to Ethan, outcomes and costs are all that matter. To all builders, keep pushing boundaries, find your supportive community, and always tie your vision to clear economic benefits. To all ecosystem builders and investors let’s continue to open doors, build strong communities, and champion the economic impact of innovation! #StartupLife #Entrepreneurship #HealthcareInnovation #Leadership #Community #EconomicImpact
