In this episode of the Startup Therapy Podcast,Ryan and Will delve into the emotional journey of startup founders who feel out of place in the very companies they built from scratch. They discuss the guilt and struggle founders experience when their roles change and they no longer enjoy their jobs. They share personal anecdotes and examine the impact of forced roles, from management misfits to a loss of personal fulfillment. The duo also explores the concept of evolving with or beyond your startup, and how to come to terms with these difficult but often necessary transitions.Resources:Startup Therapy Podcast https://www.startups.com/community/startup-therapyWebsitehttps://www.startups.com/beginLinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/company/startups-co/Join our Network of Top Founders Wil Schroterhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/wilschroter/Ryan Rutanhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/ryan-rutan/What to listen for:00:48 The Shift from Building to Managing01:29 The Struggles of Management02:13 The Evolution of Roles04:17 The Peter Principle in Action05:29 The Emotional Toll of Management08:34 Reflecting on the Past and Moving Forward09:57 The Realization and Acceptance12:39 The Dilemma of Founder Evolution13:10 Learning from the Past13:42 Commitment and Introspection15:02 The Cost of Doing What You Hate17:40 Recognizing and Embracing Change20:16 The Hard Decision to Move On25:03 Celebrating Growth and Moving Forward
