In this episode...
The Co-founder and CEO of Maze explains how to conquer fears about putting yourself out into the world by building the right support network. And failing. A lot.
He also talks about how Maze encourages its remote team to meet up and over-share to prevent loneliness at the company, and why it’s super important that he sets a good example on work-life balance—even when leading a high-growth startup makes this really hard.
You’ll also hear how Jonathan realised his previous startup would have to wind down after a devastating call with investors—and how this experience informs how he deals with founder anxiety. It’s a conversation about making sure you aren’t defined by what you do.
