This episode is for the woman who is serious about scaling and ready to confront the patterns that cause early founder burnout and premature shutdowns. Today, we’re joined by Asti Wagner, Founder & CEO of Invyted, and Grace Mollaghan, Community & Events Manager, whose work has taken Invyted to a global creator-tech platform with 7,000+ creators, an 800M+ combined reach, and a $25 million valuation in just three years. In this week’s conversation, we break down the real behind-the-scenes of building before you feel ready, backing yourself without credentials, and pushing through the messy middle that makes most women quit too early. Inside the episode, we get into: ✨ Why women walk away from their ideas too soon, and how to stop doing it ✨ What building credibility actually looks like ✨ The unsexy, unglamorous reality of the first 6–12 months ✨ How to keep going when everyone else would’ve given up ✨ The power of bringing the right people along as you build ✨ The mistakes ambitious women should avoid when scaling big dreams ✨ & more! If you’ve ever looked at successful founders and thought, “I could never do that, I don’t know enough yet,” this episode will flip that belief on its head. Your lack of experience isn’t a weakness. Your messy middle isn’t a setback. Your unconventional path might be the reason you win. This one will light a fire under every ambitious woman building something bigger than herself. 💛 Timestamps 🎧 00:00 – Intro 02:01 – First Steps 06:25 – Why Women Quit Too Early 14:25 – Building Credibility From Scratch 33:55 – The Unsexy Middle 40:30 – Building A Good Team 53:10 – Dear Ambitious Girlies Check out Invyted: Invyted App: https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/inv%D1%83ted-influencer-collabs/id1624363395 Invyted App Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/invyted.app/ Asti Wagner Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/eatwithast/ Grace Mollaghan Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gracemollaghan/ Check out FIGS here: https://www.wearfigs.com Remember to use code FIGSXBA for 15% off your first order besties! ✨ Connect with Myriad Studios: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/myriadstudiosldn/ Connect with us: ✍️ Sign up to our newsletter to hear more of our thoughts - https://boldlyambitious.substack.com/ 💌 Loved this episode?
