In this episode, we sit down with Rachel Scott Garrison, CXO at Agentis Longevity. Rachel shares her journey from Dell, Visa, and Deloitte into the microcap space and what drew her to entrepreneurship. She reflects on lessons from her first year helping to launch Agentis, including building the right data infrastructure, practicing relentless prioritization, and supporting a young CEO. She highlights the importance of managing stakeholders, the mindset shifts that come with moving from perfection to progress, and the value of having a strong peer cohort to share experiences and resources along the way.
Key Takeaways:
- Relentless prioritization combined with a progress-over-perfection mindset enables leaders to adapt quickly, focus on what matters most, and sustain momentum
- Stakeholder alignment is central to success, and listening, timing, and inclusion build trust with founders, boards, and teams
- Supporting and syncing with the CEO is critical in early-stage companies, where pace and pressure multiply and decisions must be made quickly
