If there’s ever a setting where resilience is imperative, it’s a startup. But the combination of uncertainty, lack of control, and the intense pace of a startup can also often have a direct correlation to increased stress, which can in turn negatively impact resilience. It’s tempting to think the solution is to just to work harder. But is that really the best way to develop resilience? Today, we’ll talk with Founder Rob Nelson and investor Gavin Christensen to bring you both sides of a perfect pitch. This episode will explore:

  • Signs that an investor looks for to recognize a scrappy founder
  • Questions to ask yourself when making difficult decisions as a leader
  • The importance of resilience and vulnerability, and why you need both to run a company
  • The steps you can take to live intentionally, within your business and personal life
