StartUp Talk @ ÅBEN Brewery
Mental wellbeing and the importance of a strong network
How do you take care of yourself while building a successful company, and what role can a strong network play along the way?
Building a company without losing yourself along the way
Building a company can be exciting, rewarding and full of opportunities. But entrepreneurship also comes with uncertainty, responsibility, setbacks and periods where the pressure can feel overwhelming.
At this StartUp Talk, we turn the attention to the person behind the company. How do you navigate the ups and downs of entrepreneurship, take care of your mental health and build a strong network of people around you?
Through personal founder stories, we will explore the realities behind building and leading a company, including the challenges that are not always visible from the outside.
