As founders, we’re constantly feeding something—our business, our calendar, our teams—but are we remembering to feed ourselves well? Remember: your startup can’t run on empty. Neither can you.

It’s about those moments—sometimes subtle, sometimes seismic—when every founder faces the edge of burnout, disillusionment, or defeat. That moment begs the question: Will you give in—or go on?

You can’t scale what you can’t sustain. Mental wellness isn’t something you “deal with” after a crash. It’s something you plan for—intentionally, daily, and ideally before you're forced to.

Don’t take mobility for granted. Learn to incorporate movement throughout your everyday business. Healthy founders = healthy exits.
