I Now Give Up.

I give up on thinking I know everything about marketing.

I give up on believing that sticking to what’s familiar will take me further.

And most importantly, I give up on underestimating the power of new ideas.

Attending this event completely flipped my perspective. Here’s why:

My way of thinking

I always thought marketing was about strategies, numbers, and perfect campaigns.
But this event? It showed me it’s so much more than that.

It’s about people, relationships, and how you evolve your thinking to match the ever-changing world around you.

 The Founder’s Touch is Crucial
 ↳ The team behind simply Salads shared how staying connected with your business as a founder can create trust and authenticity.
 ↳ It’s a reminder that your unique touch is what sets your brand apart in a crowded market.

Lesson? People connect with people, not just products.

 Traditional Marketing Still Has Power
 ↳ Koumal Kalantry taught us that while digital is booming, traditional marketing strategies can still create a lasting impact.
↳ Combining the old with the new can future proof your brand while keeping it relatable.
Takeaway? The medium might change, but the message stays timeless.

 Think Bigger, Dream Bigger
↳ Meeting founders (some who’ve been featured on Shark Tank!) showed me the importance of pushing past limitations and broadening your perspective.
↳ Innovation happens when you challenge yourself to think beyond what’s possible.


If you’re a small founder or business owner, here’s the truth: your success isn’t about doing what’s trendy—it’s about doing what’s authentic to you.

Learn from the past, innovate for the future, and never stop building meaningful connections.

A heartfelt thanks to all the incredible founders I met for broadening my perspective and reminding me why I started this journey
