#50 - Gordon Belch - The Intersection Between Million Dollar Deals and Self-Care

About this episode

<p>This week my guest is Gordon Belch.</p> <p>Gordon is the co-founder of&nbsp;nutritious&nbsp;food&nbsp;brand&nbsp;vybey and Head of Finance at an international engineering firm. Out with being an entrepreneur, he is also deeply practiced in&nbsp;self optimisation through&nbsp;mindfulness, meditation and cold water therapy. He speaks on the cross-roads between entrepreneurialism and self-care.</p> <p>Together, we speak about:</p> <ul> <li>How entrepreneurialism is either learned or heritable but super-powered when they are combined;</li> <li>How childhoods signals of entrepreneurialism mature. Gordon bought and sold sweets on the playground</li> <li>How to turn a problem into ideation and subsequently creation - like Gordon did with&nbsp;vybey;</li> <li>The process of obtaining investment and how the incensed accountability scales dedication;</li> <li>How self-care and entrepreneurialism aren’t mutually exclusive and how Gordon believes the are married;</li> <li>How to find the best co-founder;</li> <li>How Gordon accidentally created culture capital that he could cash in for reward;</li> <li>And, what it’s like to be at the cusp of a million dollar deal.</li> </ul> <p>This one was a sentimental one to me as Gordon was one of my very first models. I speak about how my notion to break free from convention (and start this podcast) was an embryo of his mentoring.</p> <p><strong>If you love this podcast - check out Vybey’s Website!
