In this episode of Founders Across Borders, Yukta sits down with Alex T. Steffen, a management consultant turned founder of StageHero. Alex shares how spending years on stage helped him build authority, trust, and a strong personal brand — and how that turned into a full company helping founders and professionals become confident speakers.

He talks about:

• Why intuition + data is the real formula for decision-making
• How clarity is an entrepreneurial superpower
• Why most people are stuck in shiny object syndrome
• His system of “Meeting With Me” — a weekly journaling ritual he has done for 8 years
• How founders should think about positioning, product ideas, and pivots
• Why speaking on stage is one of the fastest ways to build trust
• How he organically transitioned from consulting → speaking → coaching → building StageHero

It’s a deep conversation on mindset, clarity, and building something meaningful with intention.
