Triathlons to Tech - Christina Reddick - Chief Endurance Officer with Greg McDonough - Episode # 105
What does endurance teach us about entrepreneurship? Today’s guest is truly resilient! Introducing Christina Maria Reddick, founder of Race Dew. Christina partners with host Gregory McDonough to share her journey from collegiate aquatics to building a tech startup. She also delves into the importance of patience, mental health, and finding the right team.
Takeaways:
- Just as in endurance sports, leaders should be patient in waiting for the right opportunities and people. Build and foster a supportive community that can help achieve long-term objectives.
- Be ready to pivot and adapt to changing circumstances, like transitioning from in-person to virtual events, to ensure the continuity and growth of your initiatives.
- Finding team members who are not only skilled but also passionate about the project is critical. Utilize referrals and be open to serendipitous connections.
- Provide early funding for entrepreneurial ideas, especially from young women. Expose them to environments where they see real-life examples of female entrepreneurs thriving.
- Engage with startup communities and seek out mentorship opportunities. These can provide valuable guidance, support, and networking opportunities.
- Ensure that young girls and aspiring female entrepreneurs see authentic and relatable representations of successful women in business. This can inspire and motivate them to pursue their entrepreneurial goals.
