About this episode

They dive into how each can support your growth, when to choose one over the other, and why so many founders tie their self-worth to their business. It's a deep yet down-to-earth convo full of practical wisdom, inner critic callouts, and mindset shifts you won't want to miss.

A strong sense of self is crucial for founders to avoid tying their worth to the business. Being affected by outcomes is natural—but letting those outcomes define you is not. A supportive relationship with a coach or therapist can help clarify your needs and direction. Your internal narrative—especially your inner critic—shapes your experience of external events.
