The mindset of 'we'll figure it out' is essential among early startup team members, as startups often face dynamic and unpredictable situations.

I love to hear team members say 'I've got it' when challenges arise, as this shows a bias towards action, which is vital for startups.

When faced with a problem that seems insurmountable, I often switch to a different problem or modify the existing one to find a new approach.

This challenge taught me that when you decide to pursue something, you can achieve it, reinforcing that nothing is impossible if you plan and prepare well. Teamwork is essential; it's about a group of people who trust each other and work towards a common goal, just like in sailing where 120 people collaborate to support one individual in winning a challenge.

When I feel uncertain, I consult the category buyers, who often have creative solutions to navigate challenges, which helps me feel more secure.

I feel a sense of responsibility in taking the company forward, but I am not scared; I am learning and growing with the support of my team.

There's always a sense of anxiety when starting a new project because I know that whatever will happen is completely out of my control, but I show up ready for it to happen.

I believe in being honest with my team during tough times; involving them in decisions helps get the best ideas and buy-in, even when half the team doubts the project.

I have increasing confidence in the directions we are pursuing, but I wouldn't say we have figured it out yet.
