Stretch Four Podcast: Episode 006

It is the return of the Stretch Four Podcast after a month away from our amazing listeners. My apologies, just a lot going on in the startup world these days.

This week I will unpack my fitness journey in February as I gear up for a half-marathon in July. Also in this week’s episode, I will give my take on Silicon Valley Bank and how it impacted my business, and what I learned from the experience as a venture-backed founder.

Last week, I attended my first industry event at the Fintech Meetup Conference in Las Vegas where I presented ModernTax, and conducted over 20 meetings in a speed-dating style format.

To cap off the episode I interviewed Cody Barbo, who I got to see at the conference and recently announced a $15 million fundraising round a few weeks ago. We got deep into the weeds of personal finance for founders, moving from CA to TX, and his daily routines around fitness, diet, and parenting.
