Dr. Gena Gorlin is a clinical psychologist who specializes in working with founders.
In this episode, You’ll learn how Gena watches the development of her children through the lens of a psychologist, how she helps founders embody “The Builders Mindset” and how you can apply these principles when raising children; helping set a foundation for your kids where they operate within the world from a place of their own desires and sense of direction as opposed to one that has been set by someone else.
