Christina Richardson on the BBC breaking the silence around the pressures of entrepreneurship and advocating for better support for the humans behind the startups

Christina Richardson sat down live with Louise Hulland at the BBC to talk about the extreme pressures that build up for the UK’s entrepreneurs and what we can practically do about it for the good of the economy.

It’s not every day that you get asked to go on the BBC, but today that was the case for Foundology founder Christina Richardson. She was live (eeeek!) with Louise Hulland on BBC Cambridge and BBC Norwich talking about the extreme pressures on the UK’s entrepreneurs, its impact on health and performance and what we can do to improve it based on the Founder Resilience Research.

“There’s some uncomfortable home truths that we need to face into for our entrepreneurs and small business owners in the UK. The truth is they are under tremendous personal pressure, leaving 9 out of 10 showing signs of persistent health strain”

The show included:

  • Exposing the extreme pressures of entrepreneurship in the UK and how this contrasts with the common perception of being an entrepreneur
  • How critical entrepreneurs are to the UK economy and the missed opportunity of not supporting and helping these individuals to thrive
  • The latest insights from the Founder Resilience Research which uncovers what the most resilient and high performing founders do differently
  • The surprising superpowers of deep tech and research-focused founders when it comes to fear of failure and positive performance habits
