Are you interested in learning more about the world of media for growth and how to make the most of your time?
In this episode I chat with Diana Florescu, founder of MediaForGrowth. We discuss her travel experiences, the weirdest thing she ever ate, and her journey as an entrepreneur. We also dive into her current project Media for Growth which involves exchanging equity for media assets. She shares a research report that revealed the survival rate among companies that have raised media for growth funding and we have an insightful conversation on valuing time and self-reflection.Â

âDon't you understand anything about commitment, about being a pro, about sticking with what you say you wanna be? You don't just say it when you feel good. You don't just say it when you're not tired. You don't do it just when it's not sunny. You do it every day of your life. You do it when it hurts to do it, when it's the last thing in the world you wanna' do, when there are a million reasons not to do it. You do it because you're a professional.â
đ„ I love boxing. There is no other sport that demands so much endurance, talent, and heart. You can go play tennis, futbol, handball, and any other sport, but you donât go âplayâ boxing.

I had a great week! My daughter, sheâs 3, started dance class (ballet) for the first time!
It was great to be able to take her to her first activity outside of school. Too bad they donât let parents in the room to see them dance!
Meanwhile, I delivered a 90-minute website personalization bootcamp I had been preparing for. I wasnât happy with my performance, but attendees were engaged almost the entire duration so I guess it wasnât that bad. And I began making progress on another side project I am working on where I help people learn how to make friends. More to come on that.
To kickin some butt!
