Ep 54. “You’re not special, and that’s OK (& your business wasn’t that great anyway)” with Dr. Michael Freeman

<p>Dr. Michael Freeman is the author of one of the only studies on the relationship between entrepreneurship and mental and emotional health. As a psychiatrist, psychologist, researcher and importantly, an entrepreneur himself, he brings authenticity and credibility to the conversation on entrepreneurial wellbeing. These are just some of the reasons why we invited him back to the NAKED podcast, this time to talk about the relationship between grief and entrepreneurs, how personal identity can be wrapped up in your business’ identity, and how they cope during difficult periods.</p> <p>This conversation follows on from episode 51, where Vladi and Nektarios discussed the topic of grief and the experience of loss, whether that be a personal loss, a business loss or supporting a loved one through their grief.</p> <p>Specific topics covered in this episode include:</p> <ul> <li>Grief and loss;</li> <li>Processing grief and managing emotions;</li> <li>Entrepreneurial learning process to deal with grief &amp; positive coping strategies.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Show notes</strong></p> <p>Connect with Micahel: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaelfreemanmd/"><u>LinkedIn</u></a> | <a href="https://michaelafreemanmd.com/Home.html"><u>Website</u></a></p> <p>Resources:</p> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.foundersfirstsystem.com/dr-michael-freeman"><u>Founders First</u></a> community</li> <li><a href="https://econa.net/"><u>ECONA</u></a></li> <li><a href="https://www.thefuturefarm.co/do-you-care-about-entrepreneurs-as-people-with-dr-michael-freeman"><u>Listen back to Michael’s first appearance on the NAKED podcast</u></a></li> <li>Ep 51. <a href="https://www.thefuturefarm.co/on-grief-and-experiencing-loss"><u>On grief and experiencing loss</u></a></li> </ul> <p><strong>How can you support the podcast?</strong></p> <p>Tell your friends and share online.</p> <p>Subscribe &amp; review: Please make sure to review, share comments and subscribe to the show on the various platforms (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/channe
