Your business doesn’t care

Something (most) founders get, but others on the team less so. When something goes wrong or fails to happen, and you have a (even very good) reason why, your business doesn't care. Nor does your body. And neither does the universe. It's the thing about owning something completely. There may ...

Is mental health a concern in your company?

Is mental health a concern in your company?

Mental health is a minefield for CEOs to deal with. {Disclaimer - I am not a mental health professional. Someone will likely tell me that this post is irresponsible. But it comes from real conversations with real CEOs dealing with real people. It also comes from genuine concern that our ...

What if you focussed your company’s work on improving lives rather than maximising profit?
