About this listen

The Founder’s Mindset explores the minds of young entrepreneurs through the early days of founding a company. While challenges are inevitable in business, how we respond to them can be the difference between success and failure.

Each week, clinical psychologist Dr Gena Gorlin will sit down with different guests at various stages of founding their company. They will discuss the obstacles they have faced on their journey and the behaviours and mindset they used to overcome them.

Then Gena, alongside co-host Alice Bentinck, will debrief on these challenges and analyse the learnings we can all take from their experiences to hopefully avoid making the same mistakes.

    S3 | E5: Founders Need Community Before Advice
    Sep 5 2023

    In this episode Gena and Alice had the pleasure of speaking with David Booth, the founder and CEO of OnDeck—a curated community designed to increase your odds of building a successful venture-backed company.

    Now, if you're thinking that sounds a bit similar to Entrepreneur First's mission, you wouldn't be far wrong. Both organizations share a belief that the world is missing out on some of its best founders, and a passion for catalyzing globally important companies by reducing the barriers for the world's smartest and most ambitious people to go and found them.

    In this conversation Alice, Gena and David talked about how David's parents raised him to be entrepreneurial from an early age, why founders need community before they need advice, the mistake of seeking external validation and credentialism as a way of outsourcing your own judgment of readiness, and much more.

    S3 | E4: Supersonic Flight and Why Big Ideas Aren't Crazy
    Sep 5 2023

    In this episode, Alice and Gena spoke with Blake Scholl, founder of Boom Supersonic. Described by The Guardian as 'the man who aims to bring the son of Concorde to the skies', Blake is on a mission to bring supersonic commercial passenger flights to the world as soon as 2026.

    Why, you ask? Well, since Blake never got the chance to fly on the Concorde himself, and nobody appeared to be trying to revive supersonic air travel, he decided to do it himself. In his words, 'I realised that I wanted to work on the most important thing that's not impossible'.

    In this conversation Gena, Alice and Blake discuss what moved Blake to take on this mission at a time when it would’ve seemed crazy to almost everyone, how he honestly answered the question 'am I the person to go do this?', how he’s had to grow and change to keep pace with his company, and much more.
