From doubt and overwhelm to clarity and confidence, these stories go beyond the surface of success to reveal how the world's top founders evolve to achieve extraordinary outcomes.

In this episode, Amy Buechler talks with Tom Brunskill, founder and CEO of Forage (YC W19), about the path from feeling alone and uncertain to internal peace: how to move past people-pleasing and imposter syndrome, make the hardest calls through a fundraise and an acquisition, and to learn to trust what you know is right for you and your company.
Amy spent nearly five years inside YC - embedded with thousands of the world's best startup founders, running an accelerator program to support them through every stage of early growth.
~10,000+ Founders Supported
Amy noticed that founders couldn't fully absorb YC's advice because they were overwhelmed, stressed, and lacked specialized support. Amy rolled founder coaching into her role at YC - offering resources designed to support founders as their startups grew. Scale Yourself is what that work became.
~2,000+ Founders Coached
Most coaches get certified in a weekend. Amy was a psychotherapist before YC hired her, and trained for nine years to gain her clinical license. Scale Yourself is based on a deep understanding of the unique psychology powering the world's best startup founders.
