This is a 10-program series to help startup founders (and any human, really) deal with this lockdown period and transition to a new normal. We’ll talk to therapists, life coaches, and other specialists who can give us actionable tips not just on how to deal with our current circumstance but why we are put in these situations. Understanding why we have storms in our life vs how to weather the storm might help us be prepared for the new normal and future storms. This series is brought to you by Betterhelp. To participate, select the dates you’re interested in attending, or buy the entire program.
