Founders Matter

Founders Matter is a podcast about what it really means to build a business on your own terms.Hosted by Jase Smith, Pablo Munoz and Kat Sykes, the podcast draws on award-winning academic research into founder self-worth and wellbeing to examine the realities of entrepreneurship that are often overlooked. Founders are more likely to experience mental ill-being than people in traditional employment, yet much of the advice, policy and support available continues to focus on growth, performance and heroic startup narratives.Each episode explores the human, emotional and psychological dimensions of business ownership, questioning dominant myths about entrepreneurship and examining how founders and their businesses coexist over time. Through research led discussion and real world insight, Founders Matter aims to make evidence-based knowledge about founder wellbeing accessible, relevant and practical.This podcast is for founders who want to build sustainable businesses without sacrificing their sense of self.
