S2.E16 Tracy's Solo Episode--Grit Over Glamour: What It Really Took to Build TRAX

In this solo episode, Tracy dives into the raw, unfiltered side of entrepreneurship—grit. Inspired by Emma Grede’s bold take on what it really takes to succeed, Tracy opens up about her own journey building TRAX Analytics from the ground up.

From being told the idea was stupid, to choosing the wrong partners, to getting rejected by investors hundreds of times, this episode pulls back the curtain on the messy middle that most founders don’t talk about. Tracy shares how grit—not connections, not credentials, not luck—was the one thing that carried her through product failures, lonely moments, and leadership growing pains.

If you’ve ever questioned whether you have what it takes, or felt like quitting when things got hard, this episode is your reminder: grit will take you further than talent ever will.
