Summary: I was joined by Michelle Darné, founder of the House 001. Michelle has a tremendous background in the media business, from several decades and has played a variety of roles. Some bumps and bruises along the way also help bring perspective to whatever she pursues and set priorities in order. The House helps entrepreneurs with marketing and packaging of their great visions, in order to make their messages appealing and effective. Michelle and the House are also part of GrowVC’s Pilot Program, and as we discuss in the podcast, there are many exciting things to look forward to with this partnership. There are many valuable points we discussed in the episode, ranging from the importance of angels in your career, as well as diligence, to how attached you get to the ventures you build as an entrepreneur. Listen to the episode here. Some quotes from the episode: Like I built this great big huge monster. You know, once you build it, you have to drive it and you have to feed it every day. I found that, you know there is a way to live out our dreams and still live a balanced life. It’s really important to not take deals, just because they’re on the table. It’s amazing when you start to walk away from the table, and be confident with being able to do that, how many more deals present themselves.
