Entrepreneurs are expected to do it all. Run a company, develop great relationships with their investors, keep up with their personal life… all while needing to keep themselves together. But—like everyone else—founders struggle with their own personal battles. Today we’re talking with someone familiar. Someone who has overcome major challenges and reached success. Join us in today’s conversation with investor Gavin Christensen of Kickstart (a VC firm for startups in Utah, Colorado, and the Mountain West) for a special episode of Perfect Pitch. In this episode, we’ll talk about:

  • Gavin’s diagnosis of Addison’s Disease & how he moved forward
  • How entrepreneurs can learn to balance their personal trials with their startups
  • Why you should use regret to fuel better decision-making
  • Why Gavin believes we should be less impressed by working “overtime”
