What if the very traits that make you a successful founder are slowly destroying your company?
In this raw and revealing episode, we dive deep with serial entrepreneur Cory Blumenfeld, who's navigated three successful ventures and two exits, about the toxic behaviors that can derail even the most promising startups. Discover why 70% of startup failures stem from founder-related issues rather than market conditions, and learn how to spot the warning signs before they torpedo your business. From unchecked ego to decision paralysis, we explore the dark patterns that emerge when founders lose sight of authentic leadership. This isn't your typical feel-good entrepreneurship content—it's an honest look at the traits we don't want to admit we have.
