Today, on the Early-Stage Founder Show, I’m talking with Dr. Sherry Walling, a psychologist, podcaster, and the founder whisperer behind . I first came across Dr. Walling’s work at a conference where she spoke about what she calls the Owner’s Dilemma.  The dilemma is that with all the freedom you get as an entrepreneur you also have a lot of responsibility, and with how hard it can be to relate those feelings to others, it can be an isolating pursuit.  In our chat today, Dr. Walling shares how to identify some of the common challenges founders will face, how to better prepare yourself for them, and strategies for what to do when it seems like it’s too much to handle.  These are all lessons that she covers in much more detail in her upcoming book, , but today’s chat is a great primer on the subject.  If sometimes you feel like your business runs you rather than the other way around, then this is the episode for you.
