The Inner Game of Founding: pressure, risk and performing when the work doesn't stop

You're doing every job, carrying the runway and the payroll, sometimes for years without paying yourself, and still expected to show up sharp every day. Most founder advice covers the company. This session is about the person running it, and how to keep performing without burning down your health, your family, or the thing you've built.

We're joined by Seth Taylor, a performance coach who works with professional athletes and with founders and executives on exactly this: staying clear-headed under sustained pressure over long periods.

What we'll cover

• How elite performers handle sustained pressure, and what founders can take from them
• Carrying the load, runway, payroll, risk and everything you've put on hold, at a pace you can actually sustain
• Recognising the patterns early, before they cost you the company or the people around you
• Open conversation with founders carrying the same weight

Small group by design, so this is a conversation rather than a presentation. Come with whatever is actually on your mind.
