MAKE MY LOGO BIGGER #9 with special guest Sarah Young
Join us as we dig deep into Sarah’s success as a problem solver and communications expert. Sarah generously shares invaluable advice for creating a powerful team that values different perspectives and creativity, and explains how this outlook can lead to new answers to old problems. Sarah doesn’t accept “but it’s always been done like this”. It’s her belief that “if it should change, let’s change it”, and this helps explain her notable success in this industry. With thought provoking conversation about PR, growth and the importance of women and diversity in the venture capitalist market, this episode is a must listen.
In a refreshing, honest chat about approach, Sarah reminds us that flexibility and malleability are key to finding answers. When A and B aren’t working - maybe it’s time to link arms with the client and discover choice C! This understanding of compromise and creativity has made her work at National PR stand out, and has put Halifax’s chapter of the Public Relations company at the forefront. It’s no wonder she is the force she is today.
Furthermore, Sarah gives us an inside look at what she has learned about venture capital. With shockingly low female startup founders being supported and even fewer female venture capitalists, she became painstakingly aware of a hole in the market. Missing out on innovation by not uplifting diverse groups of women became unacceptable, and so Sandpiper Ventures was born. With this she hopes to foster significant advancements and disrupt venture capital as we know it.
In conclusion, Sarah advises those just starting to dive in with confidence, to celebrate the small wins and stop waiting for the milestones. Listening, compassion, and bravery seem to be her secret sauce, and we hope this episode inspires you to prioritize those as well. Happy listening!
