What does a day in the life of a founder look like?
A day in the life of the founder typically starts with me joining some morning meetings. Because I'm in Arizona, most of those early morning meetings involve East Coast work and supporting customers on my team there.
Things usually slow down for me around midday. Then I start doing more sales and business development activities, HR functions, billing functions, and helping with the administrative parts of running a small business.
