Authenticity, what a can of worms. A beautiful gift of self acceptance, an appreciation of the wreck that you are and something that we for some reason forgo in the face of formality. Since working for a startup accelerator I've been privy to an entrepreneurial mindset of needing to build at the sake of authenticity. Be what you think an employer or partner wants you to be, hide your personality for the sake of your venture, "I aM a BuSInESS pErSoN." The examples go on and on and what I find so funny is that the advice from some of the most successful people I know contradicts the need to hide your authentic self. Building through authenticity is a way to avoid burnout, incorporate more fun into your day-to-day, and avoid creating something that doesn't serve your purpose. Our guest today is a fantastic example of this. Join Mid-Day Squares CoFounder, Rain Maker, Dancing Machine, Hype Man and Public Speaker Jake Karls and I as we explore Jake's entrepreneurial journey, talk mental health, and dive into the beautifully deep waters of authenticity.
