CCEI-Timely-Topics

About Timely Topics:

One of the most powerful tools for an entrepreneur is being connected to the right resources when they are needed most. Timely Topics, a series hosted by the Connecticut Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation, features panels of speakers, workshops to engage our entrepreneurs, and fire side chats with successful business leaders. These sessions are a way for CCEI to provide ongoing opportunities for students, faculty, and alumni entrepreneurs to learn, grow, and connect. 

How Grit Turns into Growth

with

Shannon Malkin Daniels

Being an entrepreneur is not for the faint of heart. The inevitable failures, pivots and “no thank you” replies along the founder’s journey require grit. It can be quite an emotional roller coaster with daily ups and downs. Sometimes, you just have to get comfortable being uncomfortable. But if you can stick it out and learn to fail forward, you can turn that grit into growth, and ultimately - with a bit of luck - success and personal fulfillment. 

In this week’s Timely Topics, Shannon Malkin Daniels, Founder & CEO of encaptiv will share her own entrepreneurial journey. She'll open up about some of her own wins and losses, and how grit, above all else, keeps her moving forward - even when the going gets tough.
