New Episode: Founder Sanity - 5 Rules For Keeping Your Cool When Building Your Startup

In this episode, Yaniv outlines a unique approach to maintaining sanity and fostering growth in the high-pressure world of startups. His insights on the importance of focussing on daily progress rather than the end goal, taking challenges head-on while staying hopeful, caring for your venture but not conflating it with your identity, seeking help, and prioritizing sustainability over instant wins provide a fresh perspective and actionable steps for startup founders.

Remember the 5 Rules of Founder Sanity:
Rule 1: Keep your eye on the ball, not the prize

Rule 2: Observe the Stockdale Paradox

Rule 3: Care alot, but not too much

Rule 4: Don't try to do it alone, lean on others

Rule 5: Prioritize staying in the game over winning the game
