Beyond Virality: The Hidden Power of Building in Public
Manage episode 513985959 series 3662999
What truly happens when a founder decides to show everything — the wins, the doubts, and the messy middle?
In this deeply personal episode, Joanna Trojak, founder of a self-dating app, shares seven powerful lessons from over 100 days of building in public — a journey that began as an experiment in transparency and evolved into a practice of self-awareness, consistency, and authentic connection.
This isn’t a story about viral growth or startup hacks. It’s a reflection on what changes when you stop performing success and start showing up truthfully — even when no one’s clapping. Joanna explores:
- Why consistency builds momentum even when inspiration fades
- How vulnerability connects more than any metric ever could
- The surprising link between founder well-being and product clarity
- Why alignment matters more than virality
- And how your story itself becomes a product of trust and transformation
If you’ve ever struggled with self-doubt, burnout, or the pressure to perform online, this episode will remind you that honesty is the most powerful growth strategy of all.
☕ Grab your coffee, settle in, and listen to a founder strip away the filters to reveal what it really takes to build — in public and within yourself.
