About this episode

As we put 2020 into our rearview mirror and head into 2021 with renewed passion and ambition, I thought it’d be fun to look back on 2020 and reflect on all the good that has happened this year. And there has been some good produced from this year. Regardless of what 2020 looked like for you, there are some things you can look back on with appreciation.

I started The Startup Story in 2019 because I wanted to give entrepreneurs a place where they could learn from other entrepreneurs. I knew that they understood the limits of their own understanding and the importance of seeking guidance from others.

However, when I began, I noticed how many founders hadn’t experienced disruption and crisis and therefore felt no need to get help from others. Well, 2020 changed all of that. Entrepreneurs found themselves in a crisis just as the country at large did. They were forced to find inventive ways to stay in business.

Through this innovation, startups became stronger than ever before. Similarly, many other good things we didn’t expect came from this year of supposed struggle. Tune in as I reflect on them.

In this episode, you'll hear:

  • Why even us entrepreneurs can look back and appreciate 2020.
  • The amazing 2-day live stream event where founders came together to talk about how they were navigating this crisis.
  • How the founder of Airbnb came to realize that he needed guidance from those outside of his usual circle.
  • The challenges in my own life that brought about Grindology.
  • A few of the mentoring minutes that have had the greatest impact on all of you.
