“No one has a perfect answer. You might as well just try something and see versus getting hung up on always doing things perfectly.”
In this episode, I speak with Natalie Marcotullio, Head of Growth and Operations at Navattic. From launching a laptop rental side hustle in college to leading growth at a high-speed startup, Natalie is no stranger to uncertainty, and she wouldn’t have it any other way.
Natalie shares how she keeps burnout at bay, sets boundaries in a fast-paced world, and why her parents (a Fortune 1000 exec and a kindergarten teacher) shaped her leadership style more than any job ever could. She also talks about her deep love for New York, why running the 800-meter race is pure torture, and the underrated power of just figuring it out.
