In this episode of 10q Interview I talk to exited founder and author, Mike Buoniauto.

Mike has written a powerful book on the challenges of being a founder, you can buy it here - https://amzn.to/3DprmIT.

Entrepreneurship is often reported as all roses and something aspirational for us to work towards but often the tough times are not really discussed. And there are many!

Mike learned many of these lessons personally and wrote his book to hopefully help people like me and you, avoid them.

We talked a lot about the book but also many other topics, including:

lessons he's learned
founder burnout
the dark side of entrepreneurship
scaling and exiting a company
the book writing process - from idea to publishing
asking people, 'What's going on in your life?'
persistence & discipline
the importance of distribution and a good marketing plan when writing a book
short-termism
similarities of starting a family with starting a business
Johann Hari ‪@johannhari5624‬
Mark Manson ‪@IAmMarkManson‬
Austin Kleon ‪@AustinKleonisawriterwhodraws‬
and a fair bit more.

If you are an entrepreneur, senior leader or in fact just having daily life challenges, I think you’ll take a lot away from this one.

Go give Mike a follow (Links below), say hi and let him know what you thought of the episode.
