Description

In this episode of 10q Interview I talk to exited founder and author, Mike Buoniauto.

Mike has written a powerful book on the challenges of being a founder, you can buy it here - https://amzn.to/3DprmIT.

Entrepreneurship is often reported as all roses and something aspirational for us to work towards but often the tough times are not really discussed. And there are many!

Mike learned many of these lessons personally and wrote his book to hopefully help people like me and you, avoid them.

We talked a lot about the book but also many other topics, including:

• lessons he's learned
• founder burnout
• the dark side of entrepreneurship
• scaling and exiting a company
• the book writing process - idea > publishing
• asking people, 'What's going on in your life?'
• persistence & discipline
• the importance of distribution and a good marketing plan when writing a book
• short-termism
• similarities of starting a family with starting a business
• Johann Hari
• Mark Manson
• Austin Kleon

and a fair bit more.

If you are an entrepreneur, senior leader or in fact just having daily life challenges, I think you’ll take a lot away from this one.

Go give Mike a follow (Links below), say hi and let him know what you thought of the episode.
