This week, I was thrilled to welcome Dr. Sherry Walling to the podcast. Sherry is a clinical psychologist, speaker, and best-selling author. She is also the host of the ZenFounder podcast, which has been called a “must listen” by both Forbes and Entrepreneur Magazine, and has been downloaded more than 1M+ times.
Sherry first came onto my radar when she published her first book, the aptly named "The Entrepreneur’s Guide to Keeping Your Sh*t Together", which discusses many of the topics that we’ve explored over the years in this podcast related to managing your psychology as an entrepreneur and CEO.
Among other things, in our discussion today, we cover:
- The (often hidden) costs of ambition
- The fear of success and unconscious self-sabotage among entrepreneurs
- How the sale of a business tends to impact an entrepreneur's relationships with their family and friends
- Pieces of timeless, universal advice for post-exit entrepreneurs
- Balancing transparency with confidentiality when communicating a pending exit to employees
- Generational differences among entrepreneurs of different ages
...and much more. Link is below. Please enjoy!
