Recorded from Frontier Tower, a space built around community and human flourishing, this episode is a grounded conversation about what happens when people feel genuinely supported. We talk about joy — not as something that replaces sadness, but as something that makes room for it — and how learning to sit with our emotions helps us reconnect with ourselves and each other.

We reflect on loneliness, belonging, and why creating intentional, emotionally-aware spaces matters so much right now. At its core, this episode is about slowing down, feeling more deeply, and remembering that connection is where humanity lives.

This week, we slow down and check in on what it actually feels like to build right now.

We talk openly about carrying emotional weight—global events, personal health, relocation, and the quiet pressure founders hold—while still trying to show up for the work and the people around us. The conversation explores how community, meditation, creativity, and purpose-driven work help us stay grounded when everything feels in motion.

We also reflect on why this season has brought new clarity to InsightsOut’s direction, how listening to emotional signals shaped our next steps, and what it looks like to lead with both care and intention during uncertainty.

An honest, human conversation about building, belonging, and finding steadiness in the middle of change.

In this episode, we lean into the conversation we’ve been circling for months: money.

Not “here’s our revenue model” money—more like the emotional reality of building something that isn’t generating income yet, while still needing stability, runway, and a plan. We talk about scarcity stories, fear of running out, and how quickly anxiety can narrow your thinking into “there’s no way out.”

From there, we move into what actually helps: zooming out, getting honest about burn rate and savings without spiraling, and creating enough spaciousness to be creative again. We unpack how founder financial stress isn’t just a numbers problem—it’s a nervous system problem—and why the way you approach the conversation matters as much as the outcome.

We also reflect on partnership: how doing this with a co-founder changes everything when you trust each other—how it softens the “this is all on me” narrative, and makes room for shared responsibility, clearer decisions, and forward momentum.

If you’re a founder navigating uncertainty, runway, or the constant tension between dreaming big and paying bills—this episode will feel familiar.

A week after our launch, we’re finally in that “exhale” moment—where the app is out, the noise quiets down, and the next steps start to get clearer.

In this episode, we talk about what’s been coming up as we look toward 2026: building community with more intention, getting sharper on our B2B path, and facing the financial reality of making this sustainable without letting fear run the whole show.

We also go deep on something we don’t hear founders talk about enough: how trust and psychological safety between co-founders is the foundation. Not just “can we ship together?” but “can we pause when something feels off, say it out loud, and move through it without breaking the relationship?”

If you’re building something, looking for a co-founder, or carrying that familiar mix of excitement + anxiety, this one’s for you.

In this episode, InsightsOut co-founders Chelsea and Nima reflect on what it really means to be vulnerable as a founder. Fresh off the launch of InsightsOut, they explore the emotional highs and lows of building in public—gratitude, fear, belonging, financial stress, and the courage it takes to be seen.

This conversation touches on:
• Vulnerability as an act of courage
• End-of-year reflection without forced fresh starts
• Loneliness, belonging, and community
• Founder emotions around money, uncertainty, and leadership

A grounded, honest conversation for founders, creatives, and anyone navigating growth and transition.

So much of our professional and personal lives require us to wear masks or put up walls especially when it comes to being vulnerable. For Nima Imani and Chelsea Borruano, founders of InsightsOut, that emotional awareness is the basis for trust and resilience in their cofounder journey and is the foundation for their work.

Tune in weekly as we get real and explore the sometimes messy emotions as first time founders and humans just trying to navigate the world.

Every founder has an origin story but not many start with two digital nomads in a hostel in Mexico.

In our first founders episode, we share why we’re building InsightsOut — an emotional-wellness app that helps you visualize your emotional patterns over time. We talk about co-founder dynamics, the loneliness of building, using our own app to spot patterns, and the community we want to grow around emotional awareness and honest feedback.
