Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Meredith Farley: From Corporate Leader to Founder and Owning Your Voice on LinkedIn
Q: How do you handle mentorship and support for founders who feel isolated after leaving corporate roles?
Therapy and a supportive partner are crucial, along with connecting with peers on LinkedIn who are in similar stages. Mentorship is valuable, but practical, hands-on support that fits the founder's voice is essential for real progress.
Meredith Farley: From Corporate Leader to Founder and Owning Your Voice on LinkedIn
Q: How did you approach the first year in your own business, both professionally and personally?
The first year involved mindset work, building a team, and learning to trust my instincts. I focused on a flexible, intuitive process, established a four-post-per-month LinkedIn framework, and leaned on therapy and a supportive partner to navigate the transition.
Meredith Farley: From Corporate Leader to Founder and Owning Your Voice on LinkedIn
Q: Looking back on your journey, what would you do differently and what was the pivotal moment to start your own business?
I would be less hard on myself and accept that mistakes are part of the process. The pivotal moment was choosing to leave a stable role and start Medbury, despite the apparent safety of staying—the timing felt divinely aligned and pushed me toward entrepreneurship.
Anna Perks: Building a Business by Taking Houses Apart, Not Burning Out, and Rethinking Waste
Q: What does leadership and delegation look like as you scale?
Growth brings a lot of stress and the risk of doing too many things myself. We created a plan to hire an operations coordinator, conducted a month-long time audit, and built weekly check-ins and clear employment agreements to keep goals on track. Delegation is now about trust, clear accountability, and matching people to tasks that energize me, like business development and outreach.
Candace Dellacona: Why Women Are Burning Out in the Sandwich Generation and the Cost of Not Planning Ahead
Q: What are the top three documents everyone should have for age-related planning?
Advanced health care directives (medical power of attorney/health care proxy), a durable power of attorney for finances, and awareness that other documents like guardianship can be avoided if these are in place; these empower trusted people to act on your behalf and can prevent costly guardianship proceedings.
