Show Notes
When you’re someone who’s as ambitious and driven as founders tend to be, it can be hard not to merge your personal identity with your company - despite all advice to the contrary.
No-where has this been clearer than the conversations we’ve had this season of ‘The Founder’s Mindset’
.In this episode, Alice Bentinck and Gena Gorlin reflect on the insightful conversations we’ve had around entrepreneurship and personal identity. They share their learnings, including on how to deal with failure when it feels close to home; what motivates and inspires the most successful founders; how to reconcile differences in motivation between you and your co-founder; how to cope with stress; and how to build resilience.
We hope you’ve found these conversations as valuable and thought-provoking as we have.

More from The Founder's Mindset
In the final episode of season 3, Alice and Gena reflect on the five conversations they've shared.
In this episode Gena and Alice had the pleasure of speaking with David Booth, the founder and CEO of OnDeck—a curated community designed to increase your odds of building a successful venture-backed company.
In this episode, Alice and Gena spoke with Blake Scholl, founder of Boom Supersonic. Described by The Guardian as 'the man who aims to bring the son of Concorde to the skies', Blake is on a mission to bring supersonic commercial passenger flights to the world as soon as 2026.
This episode is a little bit different and a particular delight for Gena, because she got to talk to one of her colleagues and direct inspirations: Amy Buechler—who is not a startup founder herself, but rather a psychotherapist turned executive coach.
In this episode, we spoke with Brett Kopf, a serial entrepreneur at the intersection of fintech and education.
