“That wasn’t my intention”... I hear this a lot. Heck, I’ve said it a lot. As humans, it’s in our DNA to engage with each other, and because we’re humans, that engagement can be messy. So when our good intentions get perceived as negative, that can hurt.

In this episode of The Art of Entrepreneurship, I dig into a recent example of how my good intentions were perceived, and why the perception of others matters. I’ve noticed this becoming increasingly important in my professional life—especially as a leader.

Listen in until the very end for a few tips to make sure our intentions and the reception of our words and actions are aligned!

• Podcast: When words and actions don’t align
• Podcast: Other people’s reactions
• Blog: Sometimes protecting is a disservice

My guest today is Alex Chompff, an entrepreneur and investor whose ventures include a fund for underrepresented founders, namely women and entrepreneurs of color. Alex and I discuss why these communities are typically passed over for investment, why investors are making mistakes when they do this, and how other founders can get in front of investors like him.

Make sure you tune in for an inspiring story about one of the founders he works with (Shark Tank fans will love it), plus Alex’s advice on getting your business in front of angel investors.

Alex is the Co-founder and Executive Director of Evolution Ventures and Lead General Partner of MinervaFund, an active early stage venture capital firm investing in women and traditionally underrepresented founders.

This episode of The Art of Entrepreneurship is for anyone who is wondering which funding method is right for their startup.

My guest today is Paul Bianco, Founder and CEO of Graphite, a company that provides outsourced accounting and financial services for startups and growth-stage companies. Paul and I discuss the pros and cons of different funding strategies (e.g. investors, bootstrapping), cash management, and how founders should view debt.

Even if money talk isn’t your favorite (said as a creative who doesn’t totally love talking finance), Paul’s insights are a must-listen for any entrepreneur.

Paul Bianco caught the entrepreneur bug at the age of nineteen, igniting a lifelong journey of business creation and growth. From spending hours on his college campus handing out fliers for his first business venture to his invaluable experiences in consulting and venture capital, he laid a strong foundation for his brainchild, Graphite. Over nearly seven years, Paul has dedicated himself to providing entrepreneurs with accessible fractional finance and accounting services, empowering early and growth-stage companies to achieve financial prowess without the operational cost of building an in-house finance team.
