In this episode of the Startup Therapy Podcast,Ryan and Will delve into the emotional journey of startup founders who feel out of place in the very companies they built from scratch. They discuss the guilt and struggle founders experience when their roles change and they no longer enjoy their jobs. They share personal anecdotes and examine the impact of forced roles, from management misfits to a loss of personal fulfillment. The duo also explores the concept of evolving with or beyond your startup, and how to come to terms with these difficult but often necessary transitions.
