About ZenFounder
Permission with Dr. Sherry Walling is a podcast for founders, entrepreneurs, leaders, and creatives who have done the therapy, read the books, and built the thing — and are now ready to stop living by rules they never agreed to. Hosted by clinical psychologist, entrepreneur, speaker and circus artist Dr. Sherry Walling, each episode is a permission slip: to work differently, rest deeply, love fully, change direction, and be more alive than your industry thinks is appropriate. Through honest conversations with founders, thinkers, and doers, Sherry goes where most business podcasts won't — into meaning and burnout, identity, pleasure, embodiment, grief, psychedelics, and the strange emptiness of getting everything you wanted and still feeling like something's missing. For anyone carrying the weight of the thing they built — and the people who love them. New episodes weekly. (Formerly ZenFounder.)

[…] It was like coding. And then it was doing freelance work on the side and then that becoming the full time thing. And then it was like, I want to build a startup. I want to build products that you can sell over and over. And I did those all nights and weekends. And that was why it took me longer than if I'd gone and raised funding and taken a big risk. But I did keep my foot on one island while making the step to the other and had them on both for years. Years. Yep. I mean, the nights and weekends probably started in 02, 03. I quit my final consulting gig in 2008. It was probably six years. It wasn't constant every night, every weekend. […]
