No Longer the Rookie: My Founder Perspective Shift

Founder Unfiltered with Joanna Trojak

There’s a moment in every founder’s journey when you realize you’ve changed — when you’re no longer the rookie trying to prove yourself but the confident, capable founder you once dreamed of becoming.

In this episode, I share a personal story of how an ordinary LinkedIn scroll turned into an unexpected mirror of my growth. What used to trigger self-doubt and comparison now gave me clarity — clarity that I’ve built something real, clarity that my skills and experience speak for themselves, and clarity that the person I used to look up to wasn’t as impressive as I once thought.

I talk about the subtle but powerful mindset shift that happens as you build your startup: learning to trust your instincts, owning your expertise, and finally seeing yourself as the professional you’ve become. Whether you’re just starting out or in the middle of scaling your vision, this episode is a reminder that growth often shows up in quiet, surprising ways — and that confidence is built one milestone at a time.
