Founders (Don't) Cry

​Asked about introspection, Marc Andreessen answers: "If you go back 400 years, it would never have occurred to anybody to be introspective."

​Yet almost 2,000 years ago Marcus Aurelius wrote the Meditations while busy fighting a war. Steve Jobs, Larry Page and Jeff Bezos all had the same coaches. And Jensen Huang says he uses the phrase "pain and suffering" inside NVIDIA with great glee.

​Nobody wants to invite pain in their lives. So how do we leverage chaos for growth, avoiding burnout and business failure?

​Join me for an introduction to Founder Journey, the inside-out path to self-discovery.

​We will talk about:

• ​Transforming moments of difficulty into opportunity

• ​Turning chaos and conflict into growth

• ​How the internal game matters more than external success

• ​How the story you tell yourself influences the energy you project

• ​I will introduce the zero confidence strategy

​Warning: we will acknowledge the subconscious, archetypes, tarot, the hero's journey and the power of dreams, and may occasionally quote Jung, Campbell and Brené Brown.
