Tech Startups - Building and...

Craig Dames

The foundation of every successful tech startup lies in adopting the right mindset—one that embraces uncertainty, thrives under pressure, and is relentlessly focused on solving real problems. Unlike traditional business models that may prioritize structure and predictability, startups demand a different kind of thinking: bold, experimental, and deeply resilient. The startup mindset is not just about launching a product; it’s about challenging the status quo and envisioning a better way of doing things.
At the heart of this mindset is the willingness to take risks. Entrepreneurs must accept that failure is not just a possibility—it’s often a necessary step toward success. Embracing risk doesn’t mean acting recklessly, but rather being comfortable making decisions without having all the answers. It means testing assumptions, learning quickly from setbacks, and moving forward with renewed insight. The ability to pivot when something isn’t working is a hallmark of great startup founders.
Equally important is cultivating a culture that thrives on problem-solving. Tech startups are often born out of frustration with how something works—or doesn’t work—in the world. Founders who succeed are those who remain obsessed with their customers’ pain points and are constantly looking for innovative ways to address them. This requires curiosity, empathy, and a drive to keep iterating until a solution clicks. It also involves surrounding oneself with a team that shares this passion and can offer diverse perspectives on how to improve and evolve.

Courtney Ellis

ECPA Top Shelf Book Cover Award
"Look at the birds"
Through the painful days of the pandemic stuck in her home, Courtney Ellis found herself looking down in despair. Soon after, her beloved grandfather died unexpectedly.
It was around this same time that Ellis took up watching birds. "Took up" might not be exactly right—as she puts it, "the switch flipped," and she's been borderline obsessed with birds ever since.
Looking Up is a meditation on birding as a practice of hope. Weaving together stories from her own life, including the death of her grandfather, with reflections on birds of many kinds, Ellis invites us to open our eyes to the goodness of God both in the natural world and in our own lives. By "looking up" to the birds, Ellis found the beauty and wonder of these creatures calling her out of her darkness into the light and hope of God's promises.
