Our childhoods had immense power in shaping the adults we are. The events that occurred to us early in life taught us what to expect from life in the future; they created our whole perspective.  Eyal shared about the insights he now has on the effects of his childhood: “Being the first son of a family when both your father leaves the house and you lose one of your role models in a sense, and in addition, losing our brother to cancer in those exact ages, which now I know are considered the time of personality development, were pretty traumatic. And so, in the future, I had to create a certain personality to deal with uncertainty in life.”   Stress is definitely very prevalent this year, both for us as people and as a part of the ecosystem as a whole.

It’s difficult to contain it all - for all of us.  With all of that in mind, Eyal emphasized - “If we want to maximize the chances of a certain company being successful and have the founders and their team maintain a sense of sanity and wellbeing (especially in this time), we need to put a lot of emphasis on addressing our personalities, communication, and awareness expansion…”   Diving into everything in episode 99 of The Human Founder podcast, With Eyal Gura, Entrepreneur & Venture Investor.
