You may not be a CEO of a tech venture, but you are the CEO of your life venture.
In this episode, Dave Powsner and Mark Thirman share practical insights from their experience mentoring Boston venture companies. Given that ventures are high risk, failure is common. Building on this, Dave and Mark launched “Failure – the Podcast” to shed light on the fact that failure isn’t just common for ventures but part of everyday life for us all.
We batted around what makes a good CEO and landed on being able to edit and sell, and have a thick skin. I urge you to dig deeper here and not take this at face value. Both these talents enable you to discern information, prioritize actions and see people for who they are. These same skills are in fact key to nurturing your allies and navigating your adversaries. And of course, thick skin keeps emotions in check and reality in focus
Easier said than done? Sure it is. Making good decisions can be challenging especially when the going gets tough. But as a devoted fan of the movie Frozen, Dave reminds us all we have to keep 'putting the right foot forward.' So true!
