31: Marie is in energy savings mode
My interview with Marie Ng is out 🎙
After growing her app to more than 20,000 users in 3 years, she’s often stuck working on admin tasks that kill her energy. But she found ways to recharge and keep the burnout away 🧘♂️ 🔋
My favorite moment is at 33:52.

30: Dmytro and Dago wonder if his product is too small
My interview with Dmytro Krasun is out 🎙

29: Lukas and Dago talk about burnout and therapy
I finally overcame my perfectionist tendencies and edited the podcast episode with Lukas Hermann 🥳
We talked about the dark stuff he’s been through as an entrepreneur: from getting betrayed by his first cofounder to a physical breakdown that will keep him scarred for life...
But we had fun the whole time 😁
