#3 Pit Stop | Burnout | Therapy | Trauma and Entrepreneurship
Hey friend,
How are you doing? For us at The Future Farm, October has been mostly about kicking off Series 3 🎉 of the NAKED podcast, including new ExtraNAKED episodes with more questions from you, our listeners “thank you for all the support along the way, each one of you matters to us”.
We've also been engaging with communities of founders across the globe to build greater awareness and encourage more discussion about mental health. It's really encouraging to see how many entrepreneurs are starting to talk publicly and share their vulnerable experiences.
Lastly, we also welcomed a new team member to our family - keeping reading for more. Hope you are taking good care of yourselves! ❤️
✔️ My highlights in this month's Pit Stop:
NAKED podcast is back!
How we became vulnerable with Audacity World founders
The difference between coaching & therapy for founders
New tech to fight symptoms of depression
Be well,
Vladi and team 🤍
