We touched on many topics, such as the ability to think sharply, perfectionism, how to deal with stress and gender stereotypes, and how important it is to learn how to ask for help.

1 min - EP 30: How often do you want to quit?How often do you want to quit?Michal Molcan is the editor of the Standart magazine. And a dreamer too! He kind of did the impossible: Michal started a niche magazine about coffee and has made it to be a well-known brand, publishing in different languages on different continents holding a strong yet nomadic team spread globally... His print runs are strong and growing, magazines are read in coffee shops in London and New York, yet he lives in Prague and loves running away to work retreats in nature. I had only one question for him: HOW? How did you build such a strong business?Also, a founder myself (I'm guessing you guys reading are founders or freelancers too) I was curious to know how many times it felt too hard and too much? How many times did he want to quit?It's a good episode. I highly enjoyed it. And I think you will too.Standart magazine: https://standartmag.com/

When to quit and when to stick?
In conversation with Sapphire Bates, the founder of the Coven Girl Gang.It's an online community of women supporting each other through the highs and lows helping entrepreneurs to feel less lonely and less alone. In this episode, we look at Sapphire's previous business and what it's like to walk away from a successful project only because it stopped making you happy. She is an amazing example of what courage over fear can lead to - in Sapphire's case, it's a new business, a new career and a job she actually loves.Coven Girl Gang: https://thecovengirlgang.com/Get yourself a copy of our magazine: whatdopeopledomag.com
