The Founder's Mindset

S3 | E1: Brain Food, Fathers and Building in Public

Sep 5, 2023

In this season we’re bringing you a veritable feast of bold and inspiring entrepreneurial guests, from the founder who’s building the world’s first commercial supersonic aircraft, to one of Silicon Valley’s most sought-after founder coaches.

And this time no topic of conversation or exploration is off the table. En route to discovering the mindsets and strategies that have aided our guests on their journeys, we plumb the depths of their personal origin stories, battles with identity, and at times crippling mental health challenges.

We hope you enjoy listening to this season of the Founder's Mindset as much as we’ve enjoyed creating it. 

In this first episode, we spoke with Dan Murray-Surter, a multi-award winning serial entrepreneur, top podcast host and public speaker.

Dan’s been described by The Sunday Times as a founder 'not afraid to rip up the plans', and by Entrepreneur magazine as 'one of the few brave voices speaking up about mental health and entrepreneurship'. 

Dan's current business, Heights, manufactures a multi-vitamin aimed at improving brain function. In this wide-ranging conversation we talk about how Dan grew up watching his immigrant father struggle and concluded that business was a terrible thing, how he ended up starting one anyway, why he's building Heights in public, and much more.
