Core Principles with Jess Mah

Jess has been someone on my list of people to have on the show for years. I’d like to say that Jess and her company Indinero are the OG’s of the startup movement. In the early days of tech you would always hear about InDinero, their raise, their growth, and the trailblazer behind it Jess Mah. She’s been on the cover of Inc. and spearheaded the under 30 movement. Jess is an incredibly self aware individual. She understands herself. She knows her limits and understands her principles. On the show, you here a lot about her core principles that she writes down every day. The conversation overall is real and raw. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Let’s get to it.

Not the guilt of leaving for work when your kid is still asleep. Not the pressure of providing for a family while trying to build something that actually matters. Not the identity crisis that hits when you realize you're not just the guy who grinds anymore — you're somebody's dad. And that changes everything. I started Working Dads because I lived that. I'm co-founder of Penji, husband to Emily, and dad to a two-year-old who already has more energy than I do. I've been bootstrapping a company for over a decade and I still don't have it all figured out. But I've learned that the most dangerous thing a working dad can do is try to figure it out alone. So every week I sit down with founders, executives, investors, and everyday dads who are in the thick of it. We talk about the real stuff. The marriage conversations you keep avoiding. The financial pressure nobody admits to. The moment your kid looks up at you and you realize you've been somewhere else even though you've been standing right there. We've also got Built During Bedtime — my weekly newsletter for working dads. The one thing I write after my daughter goes to sleep. Straight to your inbox. No fluff. And we've got a community. Slack channel and Facebook group full of dads who get it. The kind of guys you can be honest with. The kind of friendships that actually go somewhere. Come find your people. Working Dads. For dads figuring out work, family, and everything in between.
