Episode 236 - Confessions of a Founder - Navigating Hurdles and Setbacks with Ra'anan Cohen   Ra'anan Cohen built an IPO and a unicorn company after starting his tech journey at thirty. He faced massive setbacks and lost everything before learning to keep his feet on the ground. We explore the real mental grit needed to survive the dark side of the "fake it til you make it" culture.   Key Takeaways Treat the tough grind as a natural reality rather than a problem to avoid. Cash out at least a little when your company hits massive valuation milestones. Build your personal brand to make investors compete for your next big deal. Focus on the fundamentals to get into the top one percent of startups. View business setbacks as a necessary part of your long distance marathon journey.   Resources Ra'anan Cohen is a serial entrepreneur (IPO + unicorn founder), Ironman, ultra-runner, bestselling author, university lecturer, and social impact advocate.
