What happens when a 56-year-old corporate executive says, “Why not me?” and launches a startup that scales, thrives, and exits in 4 years?

Geetha Sreedhar did exactly that.

In this unforgettable Do the Thing episode, Stacey Lauren talks with Geetha about the bold moves behind her startup journey, her principles for building powerful teams, what female founders really need to scale and sell, and why her post-exit life is far from retirement.
