When we show up as founders, we’re bringing our joyful purpose to the world.

Which also means we’re solving big hairy problems and trying to navigate the harrowing roller coaster ride of startup life... all while protecting our joyful purpose and vision.

Seasoned fab female founder, Mia Voss, joins me for the 2nd Annual Andelicious Startup Life LIVE Holiday Celebration! She's a cheerleader for the things she loves and a voice for things that need attention, and we dive into hot topics:

* toxic positivity
* bro culture
* managing uncertainty
* social justice and more!

Mia’s joyful purpose can be seen in multiple ways: as a super-opinionated lifestyle blogger, a mouthy activist, a trusted brand ambassador, a commercial real estate inspector, and the host of the popular podcast Sh!t We Don’t Talk About. (Listen here: https://miavoss.live/podcast/)

We also share a special year-in-review + bring-in-the-new exercise to help recap 2021 and prepare you to soar in 2022.
