Keep Going: How to juggle a relationship and your startup
“When you're going through hell, keep going." This podcast is about failure and how it breeds success. Every week, we talk to remarkable people who have accomplished great things but have also faced failure along the way. By exploring their experiences, we can learn how to build, succeed, and stay humble. The podcast is hosted by author and former TechCrunch and New York Times journalist John Biggs. He also hosts the Startup Show with Grit Daily, a podcast focused on brand new startups. If you’d like to appear on Keep Going, email john@biggs.cc. If you’d like to pitch on the Startup Show, please email Spencer Hulse (Spencer@gritdaily.com). Our theme music is by Policy, AKA Mark Buchwald. (https://freemusicarchive.org/music/policy/)
In this conversation, I talk to Dr. Abby Medcalf about the challenges entrepreneurs face in maintaining relationships while pursuing their business goals. We explore the importance of connection, the impact of personality traits on relationships, and practical strategies for fostering engagement with partners and family. Dr. Medcalf emphasizes the need for intention and attention in relationships, advocating for micro-connections and dedicated time to strengthen bonds. The discussion highlights the balance between work and personal life, offering insights into how entrepreneurs can cultivate healthier relationships without sacrificing their ambitions. Dr. Medcalf holds multiple degrees in psychology, which might be expected, and business, which could come as a surprise to some. This unique combination gives her a distinct advantage in her work. Having attended counseling multiple times throughout her life, she often felt frustrated by the slow pace of progress. It seemed like every session involved rehashing past issues or discussing the same problems without making lasting changes. When faced with real-life situations, she struggled to remember the tools she had learned in therapy. Determined to approach things differently, she applied her business experience to her work with people. In business, time is limited, and creating effective, easy-to-follow systems is essential. She decided to bring this mindset to counseling as well. By reviewing research, synthesizing information, and developing structured steps, she created a method to help people achieve meaningful change in a shorter period of time. 2d You're currently a free subscriber to Keep Going - A Guide to Unlocking Success.
