West Slope Startup Week 2023

Starting a business can be a time consuming, stressful and extremely difficult endeavor. It can also be greatly rewarding and can provide personal, professional and financial success.

Learning to manage the demands of a startup business is a skill that many founders are forced to acquire on the job. Balancing the work of the business with all the other "things" going on in one's life is challenging, and founders can trend towards workaholism and depression without having the tools to ensure they are keeping the other aspects of their life in balance.

This talk will go over the entrepreneurial path of Leif Ullman, co-founder of tech startup KidReports and the challenges he faced along the way. We will also discuss tools and techniques for keeping a proper balance during the different phases of the journey. Finally, some experiential tools, such as meditation and yoga, will also be practiced briefly by session participants if desired.
