About this listen

Welcome back to “From Grit to Growth,” where we discuss what it takes to be a successful founder. In this episode, we’re talking about health. While many people don’t make the connection between physical health and success at work, we find that the founder’s personal commitment to health can be a pretty good predictor of a startup’s success level. In short, the healthier the founder, the healthier the company.

We share our experience with founders who were healthy and unhealthy, and how we saw those situations play out. We also discuss the role mental health plays in all of this, with stress and anxiety driving unhealthy behavior. Tune in to learn more!

Key Topics

  • The connection between physical health and business health: The two are linked closer than you may expect
  • Health is the foundation of the Founders’ Pyramid: It’s not “hustle” or “ability to sell”
  • Our key starting place for getting healthy: Why addressing sleep and stress is essential
