031. Advocating Health and Wealth in Founders with Startup425 Accelerator with Levi Reed

Being an entrepreneur is hard and finding the right group to work with and why you should consider joining an accelerator is highlighted here in the benefits and discussions with my dear friend, Levi Reed at Startup425 in Seattle, WA.

Cohort 4 of the Startup425 Accelerator will be starting January 26th. Applications open November 18, 2025. Go to startup425.org/accelerator to learn more, sign up for our email list, and apply for the next cohort! If you’re interested in learning more about mentoring with Startup425 or have any other questions about the program please send us a note through the contact form on the startup425.org website.

The challenges as a founder is being told you need to grind and that can take a toll on your health. A conversation to help you feel inspired to move forward and why your wellbeing is so important to the cause of what you're building and the future impact of those who will be following you.
