It’s another day and you’re thinking about being. You’re not alone. On today’s episode, Maryam talks about what it means to be a founder, what it means to have a cofounder, and how to navigate the emotional journey of founder life. She’s joined today by Nathan Parcells. Nathan is a founder turned executive coach and specializes in co-founder dynamics. 

Being a founder means consistently making hard decisions with limited resources and information. It means paving a new path, and doing something no one else has done before. Startups may have a solo founder, or one or more co founders.

The relationship between co-founders, and how co-founders work together can make or break a company. Ensuring you have the right people in the right places especially in the early stages of a company’s inception is key. When cofounders have a strained relationship, it can lead to miscommunication, conflicts, and lack of critical alignment. 

Key Takeaways:

1. What it means to be a founder
2. Cofounder Dynamics
3. The founder experience
4. Founder lifecycle

Tune in today for a brand new episode of ‘It’s Fine Everyday with Maryam Taheri’. On today's episode, join me as I talk to Adriana of @letsgetyourshifttogether as we talk about holiday boundaries with our families during the holiday season. 

Who doesn’t want an incredible holiday season? We all do. We all want to have an amazing holiday and spend time with our family and have it go well. During the course of this episode we dive into family dynamics and why they’re particularly challenging during the holidays. 

Most of us have been there, we’ve made excuses for our family, we’ve done things that we didn’t want to do. Why? Because we love our family and we want to have a close relationship with them. But, it’s not always that simple. It’s hard to let go of the expectations and desires that we have around our family. We all so desperately want that perfect family dynamic, but it’s not so simple.

1. Signs of unhealthy or toxic family relationships
2. How to set boundaries with family
