The Conversation Factory Community Building for Founders through Conversation and Hosting
Today my guest is Yehong Zhu, the founder and CEO of Zette.
We discuss three key layers of conversation design:
+ The conversation with yourself - even with so many companies founded…why not me?
+ The importance of community, community building and hosting as an integral part of staying sane, informed and productive as a founder.
+ The broader, cultural conversation - how does a founder design the conversation around why does this company matter? Shaping this narrative arc can help you connect your company’s mission to the mission of potential funders and advisors
