Most founders talk about building and scaling—but few open up about what happens after. In this powerful episode, Amanda Kahlow, founder of 6sense and now Founder and CEO of 1mind, shares the deeply personal story behind her professional journey. From the emotional rollercoaster of IVF and adoption to what it truly takes to reinvent yourself as a leader, Amanda’s experience challenges the traditional founder narrative. You’ll hear how stepping away from her first company created space for motherhood, healing, and eventually, the spark for her second act: launching 1mind in the age of AI. This conversation is as much about business as it is about being human—and why letting go doesn’t mean the journey is over.
