Welcome to Founder Fridays - a Notion founder series - where we sit down with builders who’ve been in the trenches to talk shop - product, design, and the real lessons no one puts on a slide deck.

In this episode, Kevin Jurovich, Co-founder & CEO of Hubble joins Anastasia Crew, Notion’s Startup Marketing Lead, to share how he went from the NFL to founder life, survived six brutal years in the desert, and turned community and personal brand into powerful fundraising advantages.
