Startup Reality Check Discipline, Failure & Building the Founder Mindset | @18startupcommunity

Описание: In this episode, I sit down with Prakash B, co-founder of 18 Startup, mentor to early-stage founders, and ecosystem builder, to talk honestly about what it really takes to build a startup.

We discuss founder discipline, work-life balance, failure, mental frameworks, hiring, and why most startup advice doesn’t work in the real world.

This conversation is especially relevant for:
• First-time founders
• Pre-revenue startups
• Entrepreneurs struggling reminded with motivation and consistency
• Anyone confused between job security and startup risk

Key topics covered:
• Why discipline matters more than motivation
• The truth about work-life balance for founders
• Failure, mindset, and why “trying enough” matters
• How early founders should structure their day
• Why most startup ideas fail—and why that’s normal
• Mentorship, learning, and building yourself before building a company

This podcast is not about hype or shortcuts.
It’s about learning directly from people who have been in the ecosystem and are helping founders grow from zero to one.

If you’re an early-stage entrepreneur trying to figure things out, this episode will resonate with you.
