In this episode, we’ll be talking about how to keep your mental health intact as an entrepreneur. We had a meaningful discussion with Areije Al-Shakar, who has guided startups throughout her career in the area of funding (debt, equity, and VC), and along the way has learned about effective coaching and mentoring whilst appealing to the human side of the entrepreneurs across the table from her. Together we discuss:
- Building a strong network of connections to aid start-up growth
- Importance of acknowledging loss and admitting to mistakes
- How cultural barriers prevent us from discussing mental health
- How to find a mentor and build the basis for a strong win:win relationship
