Building Self-Confidence as a Founder: The Journey of Tannya Gaxiola, COO of Turing Fest

"Being a sole founder is a lot harder and more isolating than we tend to talk about in the ecosystem."

In this episode of Founder Journeys, Kathryn Lockhart chats with Tannya Gaxiola, COO of Turing Fest. Turing Fest is Scotland's cross-functional tech conference that supports the UK tech ecosystem, with a focus on building better startups. The conference covers three tracks: BUILD, GROW & LEAD. Prior to Turing Fest, Tanya's career has spanned from Wall Street to being an entrepreneur and small business leader. She worked globally in everything from candy, to Telecom, to education, and always in finance and strategy.

Kathryn and Tannya talk about the ups and downs of entrepreneurship including the value of taking risks, the importance of having a support system, building self-confidence, entrepreneurship trends in Scotland, hurdles to overcome in business and why you should lead with your values.
