Running a tech company can be a challenge. Running a tech company when you don't have experience operating a business? Even more so. On this episode of the ROI Online Podcast, Dr. Lindy Ledohowski shares the challenges she faced in transitioning from a professor to the CEO of a tech company—and how that transition has transformed her personal identity.
Lindy Ledohowski has always struggled with something many of us relate to: imposter syndrome. Even after receiving a 5 on her Advanced Placement assessment for English (the highest score possible), she still found herself wrestling with insecurities. She went on to pursue a master’s degree in English, but that feeling never quite went away.

While going through school, she decided to get a job she knew she would enjoy more than bartending. She worked as a high school English teacher, where she discovered her passion for teaching others. Along the way, she discovered a hole in the education system: No one teaches kids how to learn. As a result, they turn to memorization.
Memorization and learning are two very different things. Even if they manage to score good grades, students find themselves struggling to get through college or losing the knowledge they fought to retain for finals. They never truly master the skills they need to reach their full potential.

One night, she and her husband shared their frustrations about how no one teaches students how to learn. Then the thought hit her. Why didn’t they spark the change? It was the perfect way to push themselves while addressing this overlooked gap in the education system.

Lindy and her husband started a software company focused on writing, EssayJack. While it may have started off as a hobby/side project, it quickly became their primary business. She began to see herself as a business owner, not just a professor or a writer suffering from imposter syndrome.
Lindy has had to deal with the world of sales, customer support, and all the details that go into running a SAS company. The transition has been far from easy but has left her with a new appreciation for being a business owner and a deeper understanding of what it means to teach.
