Listen "Once a Founder, Always a Founder"
Episode Synopsis
In today's Startup Therapy Podcast, Wil and Ryan discuss how being a founder is an integral part of your identity, and setbacks with one startup shouldn't make you doubt your ability to succeed in the role. So even if your current venture doesn't work out, you're likely to keep pursuing new startup opportunities because it's simply part of who you are. After all, being a founder isn't just a job – it's a deeply ingrained part of your DNA.Sign up for the Startups Newsletterhttps://www.startups.com/newsletterResources:Startup Therapy Podcast https://www.startups.com/beginJoin our Network of Top Founders Check in with us on LinkedIn | Wil Schroter | Ryan RutanWhat to Listen For00:00 Intro02:24 You’re still a founder even if your startups end03:11 Success is not a determining factor05:59 Being a founder is not a job title08:08 Founder DNA12:06 What if and why not?13:36 The founder mentality as employees18:28 This feeling of failing won’t last forever20:16 You will always be a founder
