Listen "How to Handle Stress, Self-Blame, and Burnout While Building a Startup"

Episode Synopsis

Entrepreneurship can be mentally brutal. In this episode, I talk with Thomas Ousterhout about the emotional side of building a company:
- How to handle self-criticism,
- Manage stress, and
- Process uncomfortable emotions instead of suppressing them.
We discuss practical tools like journaling and box breathing, and how small mindset shifts can prevent burnout and help make better decisions. 
If you’ve ever felt pressure, doubt, or exhaustion as a founder, this one’s for you.
