Great products don't sell themselves—great stories do. 📖💡 When asked how founders can make their product stand out, Serena Williams (Reckitt Catalyst Entrepreneur-in-Residence) shared a fundamental truth: it all comes down to storytelling. Her top advice for founders building and scaling a business: 📖 Tell a compelling story: People don't just buy a product; they buy into the journey. Lead your audience down the path and give them a reason to care. 💯 Be authentic and transparent: Open up about what you’re doing, how your business is growing, and where you’re heading. 📈 Keep refining the narrative: Treat your story like your product—keep building on it, iterating, and making it better over time. Share your story in the comments.👇

We asked. You answered. Full quotes below ⬇️ Akash Kumar: I wish I’d known that “we’re like a family here” was sometimes the biggest red flag in the job description. Eram Fatima (ارم فاطمہ): my philosophy was always like work hard and let your work speak for you. Seems like that doesn’t really work in corporate. You have to work hard, speak for yourself, talk about your work, make sure people know what you’re doing…and then do it again and again and again. I wish I had understood that earlier. David Dauer: The big lesson: your career expands when you do. Don’t wait for permission. Don’t wait for perfect. Start the next chapter when the old one stops stretching you. Huma A.: We'll get back to you doesn't mean they'll get back to you. Wajihaa N.: That your network matters more than your resume. Who you know genuinely opens doors your skills alone won't. Iason Koundourakis: Being the person who “owns the problem” matters more than being the person who knows the most. Kevin Eriksen: That usually the [cool] things that they market to you about your chosen field is usually just around 1% of the work you will be doing. On that mark: Take your time to ponder upon the 99% before you choose. Lastly: It's never too late to turn it around to something else, if you regret it. It might take time, and a bit of luck, but it is never impossible. Austin Shaw: If you can find a job that you’re passionate about AND is in demand, that job is gold. What took me a minute to learn is you don’t need to find it ahead of time; if you start in something broad, you’ll have plenty of opportunity to stumble upon it as you try things out. Markus Halabi: That being qualified and being selected are two very different things. Once you understand that, you stop taking every “no” personally and start becoming much more deliberate about where you invest your time. Uela Mari A: I wish I knew that you don’t need to have everything figured out at the beginning. Sometimes, you just need to start, stay curious, and let the journey teach you. Melissa P.: That you may have to change careers a few times in your life. One career is not a "one life fits all of it". Have enjoyed some of the new avenues life has taken me. Some of which will someday end up playing a role in whatever new career lies in front of me next.
