The Glow Up - Fabulous conversations with innovative minds.

Hosted by Nathan C

Introduction - Episode 1

Almost every founder is in a league of their own. It’s lonely at the top for founders and product leaders. It’s lonely in innovation - few people really understand what you do or can share relatable examples or advice. 

Welcome to The Glow Up - Fabulous conversations with innovative minds. I'm your host - Nathan C - founder of Awesome Future.

Here at The Glow Up, we're on a mission to uplift and humaninze the world of startups and innovation by focussing on what really matters in the long entrepreneurial journey of successfully taking an idea or technology to market.

Most innovative ideas are ahead of their time, which makes staying on the playing field long enough for your idea to “hit” one of the most crucial skills for a founder or new business. 

The Glow Up talks with innovators about their big ideas, how they stay resilient in the face of change and how they find and build the value that will drive their future success. 

What is a glow up - you might ask?

Glow up is defined as "a positive transformation, often involving significant changes in appearance, confidence, or lifestyle.

We use "Glow up" to refer to the process of becoming a better version of oneself, more attractive, and more successful.

If you're a founder or a product leader who's looking to have a glow up of your own - or if you're a seasoned entrepreneur who's  stories can support others,  we'd love to hear from you. Please add you name to the guest list with the link in the show notes.

Each episode will also feature a community spotlight for innovative NGOs, non-proffits, and other organizations that are driving innovation and change in their communities. Use this link to learn more about sponsorship opportunities as well!
