#50 - Gordon Belch - The Intersection Between Million Dollar Deals and Self-Care

This week my guest is Gordon Belch.

Gordon is the co-founder of nutritious food brand vybey and Head of Finance at an international engineering firm. Out with being an entrepreneur, he is also deeply practiced in self optimisation through mindfulness, meditation and cold water therapy. He speaks on the cross-roads between entrepreneurialism and self-care.

Together, we speak about:

• How entrepreneurialism is either learned or heritable but super-powered when they are combined;
• How childhoods signals of entrepreneurialism mature. Gordon bought and sold sweets on the playground
• How to turn a problem into ideation and subsequently creation - like Gordon did with vybey;
• The process of obtaining investment and how the incensed accountability scales dedication;
• How self-care and entrepreneurialism aren’t mutually exclusive and how Gordon believes the are married;
• How to find the best co-founder;
• How Gordon accidentally created culture capital that he could cash in for reward;
• And, what it’s like to be at the cusp of a million dollar deal.

This one was a sentimental one to me as Gordon was one of my very first models. I speak about how my notion to break free from convention (and start this podcast) was an embryo of his mentoring.
