Episode description

There comes a point in the journey of most startups when it all turns to sh*t. A crisis looms large and it is up to you, as a leader, to get things back on track. What do you do? How do you talk about it? How do you move quickly without making things worse? And how do you not lose your mind doing it? In this episode, Chris and Yaniv discuss:

• The different kinds of startup crisis
• Why you need to stay calm
• How to communicate with the team
• Taking responsibility
• Time dilation: buying yourself more time
• Being bold & failing forward
• Looking after your mental health
