Thriving Founders: Morning Reset
Thriving Founders:
Morning Reset Resilience, breathwork and breakfast.
Founding is an endurance sport. We're bringing a small group of founders together for a morning on resilience: honest conversation, practical tools, and breakfast before the day starts.
When
Tuesday, 21 July 2026 · 8:00 – 10:30 AM
Format
Open conversation, guided breathwork, breakfast. Invite-only, small group.
01
Open conversation
Xaver Lehmann built and sold e-bot7, then hit the wall few exits prepare you for. Philip Specht has watched the same pressure build across a decade with early-stage founders. They open with their own journeys, then the floor is yours.
02 Guided breathwork
Lucia Hegenbartova on using breath to regulate stress and restore focus. Techniques you can actually use in a board meeting (no mats required).
03 Breakfast & connect
Time with people who carry the same weight, off the record.
Lucia Hegenbartova
Executive Breath Coach
Works with founders and leadership teams on stress regulation, recovery and focus.
