Christina Richardson sat down with Aqil Jannaty on the Visionary Voices podcast to explore her career journey from corporate to startup, the life of founderhood and how all founders can keep themselves fuelled for the rollercoaster journey, based on insights from nearly 400 entrepreneurs in the Founder Resilience Research.
In this podcast Christina and Aqil of the Visionary Voices podcast got Christina talking about starting out on the startup journey, all the mistakes made along the way, and of course, how to build founder resilience for the journey.
Coming from a marketing background, Aqil revelled in going right back to the beginning, which isn’t something we often hear Christina chat about these days: That jump from corporate to startup, how they validated their startup ideas as co-founders, and all the mistakes (particularly pricing mistakes!) made along the way.
They then got stuck into what we now know about the uniqueness of founderhood and how important resilience is for the ride: Diving into a bit of neuroscience, plenty of the Founder Resilience research data and plenty of tactics that hundreds of founders use day to day to fuel themselves in founderhood.
The show includes:
- Learnings on pricing and product-market fit from the early-days starting out
- Why customer development really matters (and why we avoid it as founders)
- Christina’s own mental health that led her to fuel thousands of other founders
- How low resilience founders are twice as likely to want to quit
- Practical strategies for founders by founders for building resilience
- A simple day to day trick to get you back on track when procrastination kicks in
