Building a successful business is hard. But do founders need to be superhumans to achieve that? And what price is it OK to pay personally for the success of the company? My guest today is Janos Barberis, co-founder of SuperCharger Ventures and founder of Founders Taboo.
Janos shares his story of building the most successful FinTech accelerator of its time and how an unconditional focus on the business made him lose focus on himself. That led to serious health issues, a long inability to work and ultimately, the closure of the accelerator.
In this episode, you will learn about:
dependency between the founder's well-being and the company's success and longevity
the good, the bad and the ugly about the superhuman founders
how you can support a founder who's at risk of burning out
what makes a founder

I bet you've met that person in your life who is dreaming of becoming an entrepreneur. But years pass and they never get going, just keep dreaming. Often, they wait for that perfect idea. Or perfect timing. Or simply to be ready.
But what makes you ready? What does it mean to have the right timing? And how does one get the perfect idea to implement? I discussed these fascinating questions with Ivan Kosyuk, co-founder and CEO of UA IT HUB.
In this episode, you will learn about:
why do we wait with starting a business
why is it good sometimes to track work time of your employees
what does it mean to put the right stress on the right person

It's painful for me to see so much (avoidable) overwhelm among the amazing, smart, ambitious people around me. A common mistake out there is the wrong relationship with the to-do lists people have. So I am giving you a small mindshift and several actionable steps to deal with that mistake.
In this episode, you will learn about:
what a to-do list is
why it's OK (and desired!) to never be done with your to-do list
working with priorities for a day
the common mistake of calendar and priorities clashes
how to stick to your priorities

Set 10 minutes aside, grab a pen and paper, and give yourself the luxury of being honest and truthful with yourself.
These three questions give you a good framework to improve the way you operate as a human. They help you connect your intellectual, emotional, physical, and spiritual self.
I share how I am using these questions and the very recent insight I got thanks to this tool.
