Ready to Build. How do I know if I'm ready to be a startup founder?

<p>Normally on Startups For Good, we interview external guests. Today, we turn the mic back around and focus on Purpose Built and what we're up to. Recently, we did a webinar called “Ready to Build. How do I know if I'm ready to be a startup founder?”&nbsp;</p><p>Have you had a nagging feeling that you'd one day like to start a company or have people told you they want to work with you or for you? Perhaps you're in a moment of a career transition where you're exploring your next steps, you could consider yourself a future founder. But how do you know if you're ready? And what are the things you should consider?</p><p>I'm CEO and co-founder of Purpose Built, joined by <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/reini-chipman/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Reini Chipman</a>, Head of Human Capital in the webinar, and we talked about what makes a great startup founder, what common misconceptions there are and when to know you're ready. Part of what was fun for me is being able to incorporate some of the previous episodes that we've done,<a href="https://player.captivate.fm/episode/885d78a7-d497-4a58-bfcc-ceb0387402eb" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> Episode 86</a> with Noam Wasserman, author of<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Founders-Dilemmas-Anticipating-Foundation-Entrepreneurship/dp/0691158304/ref=sr_1_1?crid=98P6K3B5UMC1&amp;keywords=the+founders+dilemma&amp;qid=1677188704&amp;sprefix=The+Founders+,aps,297&amp;sr=8-1" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> The Founders Dilemma</a><em>. </em>We referenced Alex Lazarow, author of<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Out-Innovate-Entrepreneurs-Detroit-Are-Rewriting-Silicon/dp/1633697584/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&amp;qid=1677188734&amp;sr=8-1" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> Out-Innovate</a><a href="https://player.captivate.fm/episode/1afce65c-0b35-4891-b502-895eb00e89f3" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> episode 20</a> and Ali Tamaseb, author of<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Super-Founders-Reveals-Billion-Dollar-Startups
