ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Donna Harris joins 50 Chairs to talk about the “middle” of entrepreneurship, the moment when the vision is clear but the chairs are still empty.
From leaving corporate life at Oracle, to building her first company, co-founding 1776, and now leading Builders and Backers, Donna shares what it really takes to turn ideas into action. This episode explores agency, startup ecosystems, pitch competitions, family sacrifice, and why America needs more everyday builders.
For anyone sitting on an idea and wondering where to start, Donna’s advice is simple: momentum beats perfection.
