The “but you didn’t answer my question” edition

Ever panic while waiting to be introduced on stage? Of course not, and neither have we! (You’ll laugh later)

In this episode of Zero to Traction, JDM and Cam dive headfirst into the art of handling Q&A. But don’t turn away just yet because it’s a lot trickier than it sounds.

Join us as we discuss how first-time founders can navigate the tricky waters of investor questions, pitch competitions, and more. We’ll share three critical strategies: understanding questions, keeping answers calm yet confident, and breaking down the different types of questions you’ll face — and how to address each one.

All this, plus an amusing rant about bathroom cellphone etiquette and a recommendation for a historical drama on Hulu.
