Think Like a Founder is a series of conversations with leaders, thinkers, inventors, revolutionaries, problem-solvers, and smart, nice people. Hosted by Maureen Taylor, co-founder of SNP Communications, this podcast dives deeper into a founder’s mindset and mentality -- what makes them tick? The curiosity. The relentlessness. The crazy. The sacrifice. The loneliness.

So what do you think? The difference is between the founder and CEO. Are you as a founder willing to learn some of the things you don't know about running a business in order to be able to be with you This weird and curious when you were little? What is the first thing that attracted you to thinking? Media can build this. There are people out there listening that think that they're a founder. What advice would you give that? So now you have money. Now are you afraid of? Hey, this is Maureen Taylor on the co founder of SNP Communications. And for the past 30 years, we've worked with other founders here in San Francisco, Silicon Valley and all over the world, this podcast series of conversations with leaders, thinkers, inventors, revolutionaries, problem solvers and smart, nice people. We dive deeper into the founder mindset. The curiosity, relentlessness, the sacrifice, the loneliness. What does it mean to think like a founder? It's okay to be lonely. That's what you signed up for. A year later, we raised $1.3 million then hired a bunch of people, and I think throughout the entire process, I think every day I woke up and I was like, I have no idea what I'm doing. So I think the biggest difference between somebody who's a founder and somebody who isn't it is that there's no longer an off switch. When you're a founder, feel like there's this thing inside of me that has to get painted. But I'm not a painter, so it gets painted as a website. Join us for think like a founder.
