Over the last 5 years, I've interviewed hundreds of founders to uncover the founder's formula for success.

I’ve taken the learnings from all my interviews and shaped a framework for success across six key areas.

Brain, Body, Business, Family/Friends, Finances and Fun.

This podcast is about creating experiments for ourselves so that we can devise our ultimate founder formula.

Today's podcast introduces you to The Founder Formula concept and our plan for season 20 of the podcast.
