Reflecting on Resilience and Growth with Kase Dean

I recently had the honor of being a guest on Startup Lowdown with the incredible Kase Dean. Let me tell you, this wasn’t just another podcast—it was a deep dive into the highs, lows, and pivotal moments of my entrepreneurial journey.

Kase has a unique gift for asking the kind of questions that stop you in your tracks and make you think. It wasn’t just about sharing my story—it was about re-examining it, piece by piece, and finding clarity in areas I hadn’t explored before. His thoughtful approach and genuine curiosity created an atmosphere that felt less like an interview and more like a reflective conversation with an old friend.

We touched on everything from my transition from paramedic to business owner, the challenges of starting over after setbacks, and how I stumbled upon Brainspotting—an emotional and transformative practice that has revolutionized my work with entrepreneurs. Kase even managed to weave humor and heart into our discussion about learning from life’s toughest lessons.

One standout moment for me was when Kase highlighted the importance of knowing your “first domino”—the one action that sets everything else into motion. It struck a chord because that’s exactly what Brainspotting helps uncover: the underlying block that, once removed, allows everything else to fall into place.

Another moment I loved? Kase’s acknowledgment of the resilience and adaptability it takes to grow something from the ground up. Hearing that from someone who has spoken to so many inspiring leaders was a humbling reminder that we’re all on this journey together.

If you’re a business owner, dreamer, or someone who just loves to hear real, raw conversations about what it takes to thrive, you don’t want to miss this episode.
