Deanna of mindset tapestry raised over a million dollars pre-seed as a solo founder, with no network, no business background, and no prior investors — just a product she created out of her own postpartum journey and an alter ego named serena she invented to close deals. we talk about the mindset behind the raise, why being delusional is actually a strategy, how she fundraised on tiktok, and what it actually takes to rewire your brain before you can build something real. one of our favorites yet.

we took a summer break. we came back. vanessa landed a new contract gig and has been going door to door selling vain to med spas. nat's deep in CPG consulting, helping founders figure out margins before they blow up their pricing. business is happening, mostly at felix.

on the personal side — vanessa briefly dated a guy from montenegro who met her mom and then dumped her at the pool. nat ran into shabbat guy twice in different neighborhoods. mr. yapper couldn't buy a drink. we also made friends with a bar owner, an NYPD sergeant, and a lost boy partner. normal stuff.

episode 22. we're in our twenties. 🎙️

episode 21 and we are fully in our world cup era. vanessa's out here making friends with the scots, repping colombia, and slowly but surely converting a very cute boy from montenegro into a sports fan. nat survived a broadway after party, went back on hinge, and got a mysterious "friends of friends" dating app text that we still haven't figured out is a scam or not.

on the work side — vain is one step closer to the app store (finally), we get into why AI should be a tool and not a crutch, and nat is officially an AI girl now. we also announced we're live on youtube, apple, and iheart so you can find us literally everywhere now.
