FOMO is not an investment strategy: Overcoming womenomics using Crypto and with Briana Kurtz, founder of 0xx

In this episode, Pia talks with Briana Kurtz, founder of 0xx and Curate client, about leading her community in using web3 tools and cyrptonomics.

We know the statistics on gender financial inequality are multiplied in the global south and developing countries. 0xx is committed to making sure the same discrepancies related to economic security, confidence, accessibility, and literacy are not replicated in the financial space that is emerging.

In this episode we talk about how information is access, and how learning about web3 and crypto is empowering women with financial literacy.

Healing our Success Wounds, Sobriety, and Socialized Self Identity with Brooke Taylor

In this episode with Brooke Taylor, we talk about our socialized self identities, the old and new paradigms of success, what it will take to heal our individual and collective success wounds, and a thing we have in common. We break down what the Success Wound is, how it drives drives everything from unfulfillment and manic ambition, to greed, corruption, and thirst for power-over, and we explore the question, am I projecting my definition of success onto someone else?

The Cost of Delivering Growth: A Conversation with Uber's Global Lead of New Verticals, Jessie Young

In Episode 006 of Curate Conversations, Pia interviews Jessie Young, who leads Global New Verticals at Uber, which means launching new products, categories and operations around the world.

With a background as a lawyer, management consultant and finance leader, she boasts a host of failed and flourishing start-up experience as both a founder and an advisor.

Our conversation centers around the cost of delivering growth: Jessie’s leadership lessons from launching and growing a global grocery online delivery business through COVID.

In this episode, we cover:

• Putting the consumer at the center of the questions we're asking about growth
• Untethered growth and making decisions based on the wrong metrics
• How to entrench the loyalty of our consumers, and more

Her take is that we problematise our sometimes blind celebration of growth for growth's sake — so we spend this conversation unpacking the cost of growth.

We discuss the paradoxes and tradeoffs of growing a business, including when topline growth comes at bottom line cost, why peaks necessitate troughs, and how to balance risk and rigor.

How to Create Human-First Technology with Dubsado Co-Founders Becca + Jake Berg

In this episode, Pia interviews Becca and Jake Berg, husband and wife co-founders of Dubsado — our favorite CRM at CWco., and probably yours too.

Dubsado’s motto is: More business, less busywork. Dubsado helps your business stay in motion: Build relationships, schedule appointments, and create workflows to streamline your projects from start to finish. We use Dubsado every single day, and so it was so cool to get to chat with Becca and Jake about how they’ve built the company over the last 6 years.

In this episode, we talk about their main measure of success as a human-first tech company, how they almost exclusively focus on what their users want and need and use this to drive their evolution (they even have a public roadmap you can see on their website of which features are coming next), what they did to create more with less and grow their business, why customization sets their software apart, and the pattens of life as an entrepreneur.
