Welcome to the first episode of The Founder’s Mindset, the podcast where we find out how to better understand the way our minds work in the early days of founding a company.

Throughout this series, Alice Bentinck and Dr Gena Gorlin will be exploring common mental challenges that founders face. Each week, Gena will be talking to a different guest at various stages of their start-up journey. Then Alice and Gena will be debriefing on the session, taking away valuable learnings which you can apply to your own founder experience.

When Gena first met Fabien Koutchekian, he was struggling to communicate the magnitude of his business to investors. Throughout his EF journey, he learned the value of openness and honesty, which is what we explore in this week’s episode.

S1 | E2: Validation Seeking

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.
