Founders Matter

business, entrepreneurship · EN

Hosted by Jase Smith, Professor Pablo Munoz and Kat Sykes, Founders Matter is a podcast about what it really means to build a business on your own terms. Founders are more likely to experience mental ill being than people in traditional employment, yet for many years there was little research explaining why this happens or what founders can do to change it. This podcast was created in response to that gap. Born from award-winning academic research into founder self-worth, Founders Matter challenges dominant myths of entrepreneurship and focuses on the emotional and psychological realities of business ownership. If you are building a business and are looking for support that goes beyond hustle culture and heroic startup narratives, this podcast is for you.
