"Happiness is not a destination, it’s a way of life.”
01 Jan 1970
Early in her career, @espreedevora thought her startups were struggling because of funding...
Then Tony Hsieh (founder of Zappos) asked her a simple question:
“Have you written your core values?”
She hadn’t. And it changed everything.
Core values aren’t fluff.
This conversation hit me hard because I’ve seen the same pattern… founders (myself included) waiting until things go wrong to define what they actually stand for.
If you want to lead with empathy AND clarity, this episode of Don’t Be a Jerk is worth your time. Link in our bio to listen to the full episode! 🎧

“Everybody tells you what the right way to do something or the ‘expert way’ … but the truth is there are no rules! There are no rules to this life at all.”
I absolutely LOVED this story from @espreedevora.
She literally walked into @sequoiacapital (no meeting, no intro) and landed the conversation that changed her career.
Her point: you don’t need permission to do anything. You just need courage, a plan, and a little intuition.
What’s something you’ve done without permission that changed your life?

She built her first company at 14. Became the face of Clubhouse. And produced over 1,000 podcast episodes without raising a dollar of VC money.
@espreedevora has spent over a decade building spaces where people feel seen, safe, and supported. From creating LA’s first tech podcast to straight-up walking into @sequoiacapital without a meeting, she’s proven that authenticity is a superpower.
In this week’s episode of “Don’t Be a Jerk”, we talk about:
1. The 3 ingredients of a thriving community.
2. How vulnerability can become your biggest strength.
3. The power of core values (and how they prevent burnout).
4. What it actually takes to love yourself.
5. Why there are NO rules in life or business
6. How to build a movement without losing your humanity.
And we even held a breathing exercise in the middle of recording. You’ll have to tune in to see.
I had so much fun with this conversation with Espree and I hope you love it too!

Podcasting is my art form. I started podcasting in 2014. Interviewing founders and people working in tech was my way to celebrate community, share incredible stories about amazing builders, risk takers. It was a way to relate to people like me living life outside the norm.
At this point I’ve produced and hosted over 1,000 podcast episodes - mostly in person. Then the pandemic hit and I was 💯 remote. After two years of virtual interviews I am ready for a change… but I wasn’t eager to be back in studio again. So… my friend Abhi asked me “what do you want most out of life right now…” and I responded “to be in nature”. When Abhi and I were talking, I was walking. Then it occurred to me, why not podcast in nature, get to know Los Angeles, the city I was born and raised in but always traveled away from. There is so much beauty here to see.
I soon met @tylerdenk_ serendipitously thanks to Abhi, and I asked him if he’d be open to be on the @wearelatech podcast for his LA startup @beehiiv and when he agreed I followed up with if he’d be down to meet out and about to record the interview. I don’t think he knew what he was getting himself into. Haha.
I google mapped a local park in his area with epic views and at 5pm today we met. I felt like I was in touch with my curious artistic self that inspired me to podcast day 1 back in 2014. It was an amazing full of life adventurous experience taking chances. I look forward to doing many more WeAreLATech podcasts in the park, reinvigorating my spirit and leaning back into exploration and experimentation.
Thanks Abhi for being an amazing supportive friend and to Tyler for going along with the unexpected. And @jenningsc_ for editing my craziness 🙃

The first thing I did when I raised money for my startup...⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀
Early in my career I was building the first action sports social network. It was exciting. I had cultivated an amazing team I adored filled with creative driven people I’ll cherish forever. ⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀
The beginning of my startup days were filled with uncertainty and a ton of hustle until I finally raised money and it was a game changer. Our first approved spend was for equipment; audio, video gear + computers. I picked @Dell 🖥 . Dell was reliable, affordable, easy to use and had great customer service. I never regretted that choice. ⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s with much gratitude that my journey has come full circle. I’m en route to @CES in Vegas thanks to a wonderful partnership with Dell. I am so excited to check out all their new gadgets, meet the team and celebrate their Women in Tech on the podcast 🎙 ⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you’re going to CES def DM me ✈️ 🎰 ⠀⠀⠀
