Series 9 Roundup: Tech Layoffs, Building Category-Defining Businesses & Founder's Mental Health

As we approach 1 million downloads and wrap up Series 9 of our 40 Minute Mentor podcast, we wanted to reflect on the brilliant career mentorship we received over the last 12 weeks.

From building a bootstrapped global fitness brand, to the end of HR, a CBD drink phenomenon to mental health and football, we really covered a spectrum of golden nuggets in the world of startups and scaleups. Not to mention some candid life lessons along the way.

In today’s episode, we hear the very best moments from this series, with some spectacular insights into all things Founder life and beyond, including:

➡️ Why you should stop searching for happiness [03:47]

➡️ How playing poker is like being a Founder [04:21]

➡️ Diversity & privilege in politics [05:10]

➡️ Layoffs are not personal, don’t be ashamed [07:15]

➡️ Overdose & mental health stigma [08:10]

➡️ Get a tech career on your own terms [09:14]

But that’s not goodbye for now, as we are back next week with our special series, on all things mental health and wellbeing.
