Ep. 172 Lindsay Hancock

from Hello Chaos · host Lindsay Hancock, Chandler Mays (Producer), Jennifer Sutton

Key Takeaways:1️⃣ Sell yourself before you sell your ideaWhen no one replied to her cold outreach, Lindsay realized the product pitch wasn’t enough. Founders and entrepreneurs must first win belief in themselves; your story and experience are what open doors long before your product does.2️⃣ Stop chasing balance, start mastering the imbalanceThere’s no perfect split between work and life, only choices that align with your purpose. Female founders who accept the chaos and own their tradeoffs build stronger, more sustainable businesses.3️⃣ Boldness is built, not bornBold entrepreneurship isn’t about risk, it’s about repetition. Confidence grows through daily acts of courage, showing up, refining, and pushing forward even when fear tries to call the shots.Timestamps00:00 Introduction to My Better Batch and Lindsay's Journey01:23 The Birth of My Better Batch: Overcoming Mom Guilt03:20 Navigating Work-Life Balance and Mom Guilt06:25 The Challenges of Being a Woman in Business12:47 The Evolution of Workplace Dynamics for Women16:52 Transitioning from Employee to Entrepreneur24:43 The Reality of Entrepreneurship: Risks and Loneliness29:45 Building a Support System: Family and Mentorship32:26 Challenges in Food Packaging and Manufacturing34:52 Navigating Scalability Challenges38:44 Building Relationships and Networking41:02 Embracing Growth and Learning44:34 Defining Company Culture and Values48:47 Taking Risks and Overcoming Fear50:27 Redefining Success53:32 Celebrating Wins and Future GoalsHungry for more chaos, cookies, and courage?

What this episode covers

Leaving a stable corporate career to start over is bold. Doing it while raising two kids, navigating divorce, and building a clean-ingredient cookie brand from scratch is next-level courageous. Lindsay Hancock, founder of My Better Batch and former Kind Snacks executive, shares what really happens when you trade the comfort of corporate life for the chaos of entrepreneurship. She opens up about rebuilding confidence, facing bias as a female founder, and finding purpose again through her better-for-you food brand. From scaling startups to mastering imbalance, this conversation is packed with honest insights for entrepreneurs and founders who are ready to take risks, embrace reinvention, and redefine what success truly looks like.
