The Real F Word
Fail. A word we spend our whole lives running away from. The truth is, failure is the most common outcome for entrepreneurs and startups. The problem is that we rarely talk about these painful experiences with complete candor in a way that destigmatizes failure and de-risks the journey for others. The Real F Word podcast will explore invaluable insights from the stories of failed businesses and startup collapses. These are the real stories rarely discussed by entrepreneurs and often hidden by investors.

She’s led marketing teams at Qualtrics (before and while it was cool) and Weave (yeah that one you see on I-15), and she’s now applying her skills to help businesses grow.
When Kortney’s not crafting million-dollar marketing plans, she’s wrangling her four kids, one dog, one fish, and husband at her home in Utah. She’s passionate about carbs, Queen, and convincing people to stop overcomplicating everything. In her free time, she’s likely in sweatpants, juggling comedy, Halloween costumes, and big ideas.
Kortney brings both heart and humor to every project, proving that great marketing doesn’t have to be boring—or overly complicated.
