Stop looking for the perfect formula. Start building your own blueprint.

Dr. Sarah Glova has a favorite slogan: "You can't compete with me because I want you to win too." This is the work she enjoys and has built a career on as an entrepreneur, educator, and researcher. And it's grounded in something most leadership advice isn't: actual science.

In this episode, Sarah shares what her research reveals about innovation (hint: it's not about genius founders), how to manage fear without letting it drive, and why women business owners still face systemic barriers that most people don't see. She talks openly about being a mom at board meetings, saying no to opportunities that sound great but drain your calendar, and why showing up messy might be the most powerful thing a leader can do.

Topics Include:

• Owning the labels that matter (and letting go of the ones that don't)
• What psychological safety actually means for innovative teams
• The Benjamin Franklin effect: why asking for help strengthens relationships
• Evidence-based confidence building (not the "fake it 'til you make it" kind)
• Sarah's calendar hack for protecting your time and sanity
• How to make face-to-face moments count in a hybrid world

If you're leading a team, running a company, or trying to do ambitious work without losing yourself, this conversation offers a blueprint worth following—one grounded in research, honesty, and the belief that we all rise together.

Money fuels industry - and for many founders, finding investors is harder than building the technology itself. The average pre-seed founder takes 40–50 meetings before hearing a “yes.” Fifty times explaining your vision. Fifty times refining your pitch. Fifty times wondering if the right partner is out there.

In this episode of The Orange T, Caleb Thornton, CEO of Seed2Table, believes the answer is simple — but not easy. Relationships. Not transactions. Not speed dating. Not spray-and-pray pitches.

From cocktails designed as icebreakers to curated rooms where quality matters more than headcount, Caleb explains how Seed2Table helps founders and investors cut through the noise and build relationships.

Topics include:

• Why intentional relationship-building beats transactional networking
• The psychology of surviving 50 investor meetings before a “yes”
• How to avoid overselling your “moat” and stay focused on what matters
• The importance of quality over quantity when curating events and connections

Raising capital is about building partnerships, surrounding yourself with the right people, and learning to explain your value.

For founders and investors alike, this episode is a roadmap to being more intentional—and more successful—at the table.
