Prepare to be inspired!
If you've been waiting to listen to this podcast, now is the time. All six episodes of The Founder Mindset: Why Would You Do This? are out now. I spoke with each of these founders about what it's really like to build a company from nothing. To be clear, we're not discussing business models and product market fit. We're talking openly about the human experience of being a founder, the extreme highs and extreme lows, the responsibility and the opportunity to create meaningful impact in the world.
You'll also learn more about the incredible companies these founders are building that are tackling some of the biggest issues we're facing from the sustainability of our planet, earned wage access, remote patient care and more.
From our listeners:
"As someone who is not lacking enthusiasm for the innovation/technology sector here in Alberta, I came away even more inspired."
"Love the questions you are asking and your earnest fascination with what goes through their head and compels them to start companies."
"I felt like I was sitting in the room and part of the conversation too."
Bonus Content
And you'll want to stay subscribed because in the fall, we're re-releasing these episodes with reaction from our Managing Partner, James Lochrie. Find out why he invested in some of these founders and what he relates to and admires in the others. We'll also release an episode on James Lochrie's personal story. We chat about how he became an entrepreneur, the journey to building a global fintech company, how it felt when that company was acquired and his evolution as an angel investor, venture capitalist and mentor. It's an episode you won't want to miss!
Next Season
We're starting work on Season Two. If you're a founder who should be featured in an upcoming episode or you know of one, let us know. Or, if you'd like to sponsor the next season, let's chat.
