Show Notes
What sustains you when you’re standing between who you’ve been and who you’re becoming?
In this conversation, Marc sits down with Lamees Butt, builder, entrepreneur, and founder of Riser, to explore what it really takes to thrive in the messy middle of building. From Lego castles as a child to scaling tech companies and now reimagining the hiring process, Lamees shares candid insights on resilience, visualization, confidence, and why culture—not skill—determines success.
She also opens up about the personal loss of her mother and how her mother’s lessons in confidence continue to shape her journey today. This is an honest, practical, and deeply human look at building—whether it’s a career, a company, or yourself.
