In this episode of The Startup CEO Show, host Mark MacLeod sits down with Cameron Wenaus, the co-founder and CEO of Retreat Guru, to discuss building trust within a company, embracing emotional sharing, and integrating mindfulness into business practices.

Cameron dives into the importance of personal check-ins in leadership meetings, the impact of feeling safe in a work environment, and shares various resources and methods for beginning mindfulness meditation. The conversation also explores the challenges of managing resource limitations, the value of mission-aligned stakeholders, and how spiritual growth intersects with running a startup.

Since 1999, I have sat at the right-hand side of the leaders of high growth technology companies as either a CFO, VC or deal maker. I served as CFO for software companies including Shopify (NYSE: SHOP) and Freshbooks. As a CFO I experienced outright failures, wildly profitable exits, and everything in between.

I was a General Partner in Real Ventures, Canada's largest and most active seed stage fund. My investments there include the fund's largest cash on cash and highest IRR returns to date. Most recently, I founded SurePath Capital Partners the leading investment bank for SMB SaaS companies where we did hundreds of millions in financing and exit transactions.
