In this episode, host Beck Bamberger sits down with Michelle Volberg, the CEO and Founder of Twill. During their conversation, Beck and Michelle discuss how Twill’s referral model is putting real money in people’s pockets (enough to replace their jobs) and how bringing “cat energy” (think: calm confidence, not eager beaver) to investor meetings has made all the difference.
Michelle also gets real about the joy and importance of hand-picking a remote team she truly likes, and juggling high-growth momentum with the pressure to always be “on.”
