What really happens when two founders hit record?
Welcome to OnlyFounders, the unfiltered podcast where Anne Gillaspie and Matt Lo—two wildly different founders with wildly good chemistry—let you eavesdrop on the conversations that usually happen behind closed doors.
From the brand therapist brain of Anne (Fix & Form) to the tech-obsessed mind of Matt (ChipBot), these are the deep dives, off-the-rails riffs, and philosophical rabbit holes that business owners crave but rarely get. Think of it as your morning coffee with two founders who aren’t afraid to disagree, throw a little shade, and get real about the humanity and science of building things that last.
Business. Branding. Technology. Psychology. Strategy. Swearing. It’s all on the table.
Grab your mug. You’re invited.

027: The Truth About Addiction: Katherine Sorensen's Recovery and Business Story
Anne and Matt sit down with Katherine Sorensen — entrepreneur, recovery advocate, and founder of multiple multimillion-dollar behavioral health facilities — for a raw and deeply human conversation about transformation, faith, and building purpose-driven success from rock bottom.
Katherine opens up about her journey from a double life in high school, to addiction and self-destruction, to discovering faith, recovery, and eventually founding Laguna Shores Behavioral Health in California. Together, the trio explores what it really means to do “the work,” how pain becomes purpose, and why real success comes from building a life you no longer need to escape.
