Lynn Harris, a culture-shifting producer, award-winning journalist, and founder of GOLD Comedy, shares her non-linear path from journalism to comedy to building a community-driven business. 

We talk about what it really looks like to run a business when you don’t fit the typical “founder” mold — from testing and growing an idea over time to the role of community, the behind-the-scenes realities, and why you don’t need to have the whole path figured out to get started.

I offer backend systems audits for both 17hats and Flodesk that review what’s working, what’s fragile, and what deserves your attention next. Learn more at kristenlettini.com/audits.
