From Pandemic to Pitch Competition with Michelle Lehman

In this episode, we interview Michelle Lehman, occupational therapist and CEO of Think Self-Management, and learn about her unexpected journey from clinician to researcher to tech startup founder. What began as a research project quickly turned into an internationally recognized platform when therapists started asking for interventions they could use with clients. Michelle shares her experience launching an early-stage health-tech company, navigating grants and funding, and learning the business side of commercializing research into a viable product. If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to develop a tool, pitch investors, and balance a startup while paying the bills, this episode is packed with insights and lessons.
