How having kids is like the perfect start-up (but probably a bit less rewarding financially) When I first met Tom Pennings, I was a little bit confused. He mentioned, “My personal life includes 2 no-exit startups of 4 and 7.” And I wondered what on earth he was talking about. He then explained, "Oh yeah, those are my kids." Before you ask - no he is not trying to sell his children 😜 Many of my guests mention parenting as an asset not a distraction for becoming a better leader. This video explains why having kids is the perfect start-up and contains so many valuable lessons. You can hear me talk to Tom on the first episode of Season 2 of Pain in the SaaS right now, where we dive into: - Why you need to switch off a server even though he could fix the problem. - How to build effective relationships with mentors and get the most out of it. - What “gezond boerenverstand” means and how it can help you as a founder. It's an amazing conversation. Be sure to search Pain in the SaaS right now, and follow #PainInTheSaaS on LinkedIn to make sure you're notified of all the episodes. #podcast #startup

As host of the Invisible Ink podcast, I spend enormous amounts of time and sweat equity ensuring that we curate the very best sources we can for women founders, and frankly, all founders, on the most important insights they need to build high-quality, scalable startups. I was quite dismayed to see this latest list of the top 20 podcasts by OpenVC that did not feature a SINGLE podcast hosted by women that would be value added to founders. A 5-minute search gave me a list of these podcasts. Founders of LinkedIn, can you please help surface more high quality podcasts by women for founders, and tag your favorites? For the early stage ecosystem to thrive, and for a much larger pool of founders to thrive, we need to ensure ALL voices about the startup journey by ALL types of founders get airtime...literally.
