The habits that made you a top performer at a big company can quietly wreck your startup.
In this episode, New York Times bestselling author and entrepreneur Randy Gage joins the conversation to dissect the mental software founders carry out of corporate life, and why it's so hard to uninstall. From surrounding yourself with sycophants to building overhead too fast, the traps are predictable. So are the fixes.
You'll hear why the most dangerous thing you bring from corporate isn't a bad habit but an identity, one built around not looking foolish. And why the founders who last aren't motivated by Lambos but by the work itself. Randy also shares the exact framework he uses for protecting deep-thinking time in a calendar full of demands.
If you've come from a corporate background and feel like something's holding you back, this episode names it.
