Manage episode 444939541 series 3578152
In this episode of the Whole Human Podcast, I interview Dénes Csiszár about the emotional cost of entrepreneurship. Dénes shares his inspiring journey from professional athlete to mathematician, software engineer, startup founder, and angel investor.
We dive into the emotional challenges he faced, including the struggle of launching a game during the holiday season and the tragic loss of his co-founder. Dénes underscores the importance of having a stable emotional foundation and a supportive network to navigate the highs and lows of entrepreneurship.
Our conversation also touches on the pressures that come after raising funds, such as the need to double numbers and the difficulty of letting go as the company grows. Dénes advocates for building lifestyle businesses and avoiding the pressure to raise money unless absolutely necessary. He advises aspiring entrepreneurs to find an exceptional co-founder, maintain a healthy lifestyle, and engage in self-reflection before diving into the entrepreneurial journey.
Join us for a heartfelt and insightful discussion on the emotional realities of entrepreneurship.
