Misfit Founders

slack

A compressed version of the Misfit Founders podcast composed of a series of short 1-2min long clips.

In this first episode of Misfit Founders, we explore what it means to be a misfit founder. We discuss the pitfalls of self-sabotage and misplaced intrapreneurship, and how to overcome them. We also explore the importance of being vulnerable - both externally and internally.

Challenging the 'one-size-fits-all' approach in remote team culture. Emphasizing the importance of embracing diversity and inclusivity to foster a truly global work environment.

1 - A culture for distributed teams

Unveiling the importance of understanding the basics of marketing for founders. Emphasizing the necessity of gaining insight into core components to avoid misunderstandings, set realistic goals, and make informed decisions in your startup journey.

2 - Use the founder hunger for knowledge to enable not hinder

Explore the common misstep of relying on a single 'do-it-all' marketing person in a rapidly scaling startup. Learn how roles need to split and evolve to meet growing needs and how to navigate these growth challenges effectively.

3 - Understanding startup resourcing needs

Explore how Jexo, a work management tool, strategically integrated their mission into their business operations. Balancing a focus on both content creation and product development, they aimed to make work management fun, easy, and accessible to all.

4 - Making audience education your goal

Explore the contentious perspective on servant leadership - is our drive to help others primarily motivated by personal satisfaction? Unearth the intricate layers of self-motivation and service in this insightful discussion.

5 - Put in the energy because of yourself not someone else

Explore the transformative journey of entrepreneurship. Witness how personal growth and self-awareness can amplify success and impact in your business. Discover how being a 'misfit' could be your secret weapon in building a remarkable enterprise.

6 - Misfit founders learn a lot about themselves in the journey

In this conversation, we address how to handle entrepreneurial failures. The key is to quickly acknowledge, learn from them, and move on without self-beating. We also discuss the addictive nature of negative self-indulgence, urging entrepreneurs to avoid this harmful pattern for better progress.

7 - Learn from failure but do not linger

When unsure about what's holding you back in entrepreneurship, explore. Engage with communities, join groups, and expose yourself to various perspectives. This learning phase helps identify patterns that could be stalling your progress. You'll discover more about yourself, your environment, and, in time, uncover what's holding you back.

8 - Exploring is the only way to discover yourself

Identifying challenges is key. Many go through life unaware of behavioral patterns holding them back. Once we recognize these challenges, solutions become clearer. For instance, if you don't open up, seek a mentor or buddy to help express those buried feelings. Recognize, then remedy.

9 - The ability to identify your own lacks is key

The journey at Jexo involved moments where opening up about struggles seemed impossible. Despite having mentors, the fear of vulnerability made seeking help tough. However, this behavior is a significant failure because it impedes growth. It's important to let others, whether they're life partners, team members, or advisors, in on your struggles rather than shutting them out. This mindset is key to personal and professional development.

10 - Opening up and being vulnerable as a founder

Chris mentions how he got easily distracted and overwhelmed by the current situation instead of elevating himself above it and reconnecting with the inspiration behind his work. One key piece of advice Chris would give to his past self is to focus on building his vision rather than getting caught up in the emotions of the situation.
