They called me reckless for being a 'Credit-Card’ CEO. I called it building something real. Sure, some might scoff and tell you it's hasty, that bootstrapping is for dreamers. But sometimes, the biggest leaps start with a maxed-out credit card and unshakable belief. When I launched 3PM, I didn't have a fancy investor pitch. Just a gut feeling that businesses craved honest marketing, not empty promises. Was it scary? Yes. Did I have doubts? Every single day. But I also had something more powerful: a burning desire to cut through the BS and a refusal to play the same old game. Early days were ramen noodles and sleepless nights. But with every client who saw the power of our approach, my conviction grew. Today, 3PM isn't just a company. It's proof that success isn't always about getting a seat at the table. Sometimes, it's about having the guts to build your own damn table.

My queen of VC Kathryn O'Day hosted a fireside chat with Christine de Wendel this week & I am still trying to process all of the wisdom they both so graciously dropped on us. The biggest take aways for me--- 1. You can be a warm, relatable & * wildly * successful leader without being a jerk. 2. This can seem so cliche (but when someone who has a company approaching 20 million ARR says it you listen!!)---if you don't dream big you don't win big. Get back to the basics of dreaming! 3. Take up space & create a little magic wherever you go. Energy & belief in yourself is everything when building a business!!!! 4. You are never above a cold call or a cold visit when you really want that customer. Also special shout-out to Jacey Cadet (also in photo) who let me practice my really bad investor pitch to her in my early fundraising days & gave me feedback I still use to this day. ATL Ventures really knows how to put an all star team together 🤗 Happy Friday to all! I hope you spend time putting your Holiday decor out, resting & recharging so you can continue building something great next week! :)

What happens when your entrepreneurial dreams crash and burn? You can quit, or you can rewrite the rules. In this week’s episode of the Fintech Scaling Show - Revenue Lab James Dawson and I talk to Matt Bird, Co-Founder & CEO of Lemon (lemon.co) who did just that. After a painful liquidation left his subscription fashion business in ruins, he refused to stop. From job rejections on both ends of the career spectrum to pivoting into the uncharted territory of SaaS subscription management. This is a story of relentless reinvention. You’ll hear how Matt: ⬜ 1 Identified the flaws in the subscription model that led to their first venture’s collapse. ⬜ 2 Turned rejection into redirection, building something completely new. ⬜ 3 Crafted a B2B SaaS financing solution that saves money, optimizes cash flow, and creates value for all stakeholders. This is more than a story about fintech — it’s a blueprint for perseverance and bold thinking. 🔗 Listen now for a raw, look at entrepreneurship’s highs and lows, and why failure might just be the shortcut you need.
