Prioritising Your Mental Health AND Business — with Mike Buonaiuto (formerly) of Shape History

Mike was the founder of Shape History which reached  45 people prior to his exit. He’s just releasing his book Founder Therapy, a detailed account of his experience as a founder, and how he has come to help others. 

And today, Mike takes us back to the straw that broke the camel’s back in 2019.

Mike loved what he was doing, but the pressure of it all was too much. 

And almost deliberately crashing his car was the red flag that he needed help. 

Forced to confront the traits that led him to this point — Mike had to change things fast, for himself. 

And what he was met with in this situation surprised him. 

Join us, as Mike shares what he describes as a “self-discovery part 2” post-exit and how he got there. 

We talk in-depth about, 

• Childhood experiences that led to his intial beliefs
• Trends around early retirements and what they lead to
• The 80-20 of your talents and passions when in business

Mike is incredibly honest about how this 1 incident changed his trajectory, tune in to hear how this honesty has helped him in his journey.
