🤝 Don’t Go It Alone: Building Networks, Strategic Support, and the Power of Diverse Ecosystems In our latest conversation with Kay Henze, CDI.D , CEO Emeritus / Board Member of Blackstone Entrepreneurs Network Colorado and current board member for multiple high-impact companies, we dove into the value of building a personal support network and the role of strategic advisors in fostering sustainable growth for founders. 💡 The Biggest Lesson? "Don't go it alone." Kay emphasized how crucial it is for founders to cultivate a personal board of directors—a group of advisors who challenge, support, and inspire rather than simply cheer from the sidelines. 🔑 Key Takeaways: - Founder Support: Effective advisory networks don’t just affirm; they challenge, pushing you toward strategic decisions. - A Growing Ecosystem: Colorado’s entrepreneurial ecosystem is rich and diverse, with increasing resources for women and BIPOC founders. - Complementary Strengths: Leaders benefit most from advisors who fill their gaps, bringing expertise in areas outside their own strengths. - The Role of Diversity: A diverse support system strengthens outcomes, both for individuals and the broader entrepreneurial community. 🎧 Tune in to the full podcast episode on our website or your favorite podcast platform to hear more about Kay’s insights on cultivating resilience, building strong networks, and leading with purpose in Colorado’s dynamic startup scene. #MyBiggestLesson #Leadership #Entrepreneurship #FounderAdvice #ColoradoTech

🚀 Building a Business Takes More Than Just Vision—It Requires the Right Toolkit. In our recent chat with Scott Trench , CEO of BiggerPockets , we dived into the key lessons he's learned over his decade-long journey from a small team of three to leading a community of millions. 💡 The Biggest Lesson? The importance of a strong "CEO Toolkit"—a blend of strategy, structure, and most importantly, performance management.

Use resources like fractional executives to fill gaps. - Staying Balanced: Maintain a "narrow band" of emotional responses to keep a consistent, steady leadership style.
