I recently joined the Tenacity with Sonia C podcast for a thoughtful conversation on one of the most difficult decisions founders face: knowing when to pivot—and when to stay the course.
At every stage of building something meaningful, pressure shows up. Market noise. External expectations. Well‑intentioned advice. The challenge isn’t movement—it’s discernment. Understanding whether resistance is a signal to change strategy, or confirmation that the vision itself is worth defending.
In this episode, we explore:
- The difference between strategic pivots and reactive ones
- How conviction can coexist with flexibility
- Why many founders abandon the right vision for the wrong reasons
- Decision‑making under pressure, especially when the stakes are real
Pivot when the strategy is wrong.
Stand your ground when the vision is right.
This conversation is less about hustle culture and more about clarity. Less about speed, more about intention. Especially timely as we close out the year and begin setting direction for what comes next.
