In this podcast episode, we are diving into an unavoidable part of the startup world: co-founders.
In this energetic and peppery episode, we will talk about:

should you even have a co-founder
who makes a good co-founder
how to find a well-matched co-founder
what happens when the co-founders' relationship doesn't work
what kind of co-founders our host wouldn't choose (but you might)

As usual, there will be plenty of real-world examples and personal stories. Maybe even a bit of drama...

5 things to do before you start

There are tons of advice out there telling us what we need to do before we become entrepreneurs. Actually, there is so much of it out there that can leave you totally blinded and even push you to give up on your dreams.
In this episode, as a four-time founder, I talk about what I learned is needed before you found the business. I wished I had this list ready when I was starting the first time, but now I'm gladly listening to my own advice.
As usual, this is another candid and straightforward episode, where I openly talk about mistakes I made, so you don't have to repeat them. If you plan to open a business or even if you already have one, this episode will give you a fresh view of where to start and a positive boost to go ahead with your entrepreneurial plans!

Episode 4: Biggest mistakes I made as a startup CEO

Welcome to the fourth episode of Leading the Way!

In this one, I'm even more honest and straightforward than in any previous episodes.
Talking about mistakes is tough. It reminds us of the time when we failed and had to face unpleasant consequences. But, I'm a firm believer that we learn the most from our failures. With every mistake we make we are wiser, better, and stronger. In this outspoken episode, I talk about:

why hiring mistakes are so dangerous in a startup
is it even feasible to scale up so quickly
why is it a bad idea to make yourself indispensable
consequences of losing sight of company finances
and a few other mistakes I made along the way

These are neither absolute truth nor all mistakes I made - different leaders might make different mistakes. But, I do believe we should speak more often and be more frank about it!
