Startup Garage Podcast #1: The Story Behind It

Dana Roefer said yes to bringing a Christ-centered school to Grand Rapids: no five-year plan, just seeds God grew into something much bigger.
Strategic Vision Mapping: What You Need To Know
A vision map isn't a mission statement with better formatting. It's built in layers, starting at the why and working out: why you exist, what makes you different, what you actually do, how you measure success, who you serve, and where you're headed. Each layer answers one question, in order, and each one builds on the layer before it.
Founder Feature: Ben Moes
Laid off during COVID, Ben Moes found his 'why' in prayer - and built Moetion Technologies on the belief that growing people and business go together.
Founder Feature: Mya Stone
Most people think a business deal comes down to the numbers - valuation, terms, the spreadsheet that decides who walks away with what. Mya Stone will tell you that's only half the story.
