A weekly podcast for founders, creators, and operators building companies without the fluff.
This week's conversation is about staying grounded while everything around you is moving fast.
We sit down with a founder who bootstrapped to $2M ARR without ever chasing hype — and has the clarity to show for it.
The Founder Frequency is a weekly show where founders and operators share the unfiltered truth about what building a company actually looks like — the doubt, the breakthroughs, and everything in between.
No highlight reels. No PR-polished narratives. Just honest, practical conversations you can learn from and apply immediately.
“No hype. Just the real work.”
Hosted by Maya ChenMaya Chen spent eight years building and exiting her first startup before launching The Founder Frequency. She talks to founders every week because she believes great building is learned, not innate — and that every story has something to teach.
The Founder Frequency is available on every major platform. Pick your favorite and never miss an episode.
Three episodes that capture exactly what this show is about.
Before you build, you need the people who will care. Here's the framework that actually works for early-stage founders.
Ep. 27Most founders underprice because they're afraid. This episode is about building the confidence and data to price right.
Ep. 39The hardest part of building isn't the beginning or the end — it's the quiet stretch in the middle where nothing feels real yet.
