Table: A Collaborative and Trusted Workplace for Startup Growth

Since 2019, Table has gathered over 1,200 founders, advisors, and investors to collaborate and solve problems.

Each session, participants present topics to discuss, then vote on what to dig into. Every five minutes, we do a quick check—are we staying here or moving on? That pace keeps everyone engaged and makes sure the conversation turns into insight (and action), instead of just rambling.

Together, we discover proven tactics, useful resources, and new ways of solving problems. There's a seat waiting for you at the Table.

Register for our next event on January 28th at 9 am HERE. 

Foley Hoag kindly sponsors this event. Contact Chip Korn with any legal questions. Table meets monthly in NYC with new Tables setting up in Raleigh, NC, and Chicago, IL.

How Ike Led

How Ike Led: The Principles Behind Eisenhower's Biggest Decisions by Susan Eisenhower examines the remarkable leadership skills of her grandfather, President Dwight D. Eisenhower.

As Supreme Allied Commander, Eisenhower modeled unwavering accountability. He knew World War II might hinge on his decisions. Before D-Day, he wrote a note accepting full responsibility if the invasion failed: "If any blame or fault attaches to the attempt it is mine alone."

Your challenges as a startup leader won't threaten the balance of world power, but the principle remains: own your successes and failures. 

Accountability builds trust and respect within your team, fosters growth, and reduces risk by encouraging open discussion to avoid potential challenges.

Do Good to Lead Well Podcast

“Anxiety isn’t a weakness; it’s a sign of meaning.”

I recently joined the podcast Do Good to Lead Well with Craig Dowden, Ph.D., to discuss my new book, 𝘚𝘪𝘭𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘚𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘨𝘵𝘩, and what it really means to lead as an introvert in a world that often rewards the loudest voice.

We expanded this discussion to broad professional and personal contexts, including founders, other professionals, family members, and friends.

We explore:

• How introverts can be ambitious without faking extroversion - (06:01)

• Using a "challenge network" and feedback to grow as a leader - (28:56)

• Practical ways to manage meetings so quieter voices are heard - (22:29)

• Rethinking networking so it feels meaningful instead of draining - (45:32)

• Recognizing that fear signals you care, not that you don't belong - (11:42)

You can find the podcast HERE or wherever you listen to podcasts.
