MiSalud recently sat down with Amy Taylor, Head of Wellness at Taylor Farms, to discuss supporting mental health for Latino agricultural workers. Some key takeaways: ???? Mental health needs among Latino farmworkers are both common and complex. ?? 11 years of learnings from Taylor Farms’ wellness programs reinforce the need to build trust and listen to what employees are asking for, rather than imposing resources on them. ?? Mental health can show up at work as a physical symptom, like headache or muscle pain, and as personality issues. These have direct and measurable impacts on personnel issues, productivity and health costs. ?? The prevalence of grief prompted MiSalud to start special grief programs in collaboration with our thanatologist, who studies the impact of loss and bereavement. Thank you to AGRICULTURAL PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION and California Farm Labor Contractor Association for bringing this important topic to members. If you’re interested in bringing same-day mental and physical health support to your Latino essential workers, please reach out to MiSalud. https://lnkd.in/guz5XMFH

Last year, we got into YC and raised $3m. But when we launched VectorShift, we only got 3 signups. No one cared. People often think that raising money and getting into a prestigious accelerator are the hallmarks of success as a founder. It is far from it. There are millions of tactical steps in between. This past year: I did sales I did customer support I did marketing I did interviewing I did product QA I did client deployments I did legal and compliance I did bookkeeping And more Many people think being a founder is about raising money, setting the high-level strategy, and giving the team instructions from an ivory tower. The reality is doing whatever it takes for the customer to have a better experience and to solve their pain points. 10+ launches later (and many more failed ones), we now have thousands of paying customers and tens of thousands of users. There are still millions of more steps left, but we are excited to continue on this journey with our customers.
