Welcome to The Founder Files! In this week’s episode, we chat with Mark Baker, the Founder of Mygrow. Mygrow is a web- and app-based emotional intelligence development platform. Through a combination of rigorous neuroscience, positive psychology, e-learning pedagogy and user experience design, Mygrow helps individuals to be more emotionally healthy, teams to function more effectively and cultures to develop into more powerful environments. Mark is an Organisational Psychologist who spent 15 years consulting and facilitating the development of leadership and culture through emotional intelligence in organisations of all sizes and complexities before coming to the conclusion that he needs to build a more accessible, scalable and effective way of developing EQ. This led to the birth of Mygrow with his Co-Founder Theran Knighton- (whom we will be talking to next week). Mark gets into some of the science of psychology and the development of EQ and shows how his knowledge and experiences apply practically to being an entrepreneur and being a leader. He takes us through the journey of bootstrapping his start-up similar to many other tech businesses. He shares some powerful insights into how he and his executives lead the people and culture of Mygrow and how even a healthy humanistic culture powered by EQ can still learn and grow in other ways. Mark’s insights are useful to anyone wanting to know more about entrepreneurship, leadership and psychology.
