LabStart is thrilled to introduce the newest member of our team! ?? Please give a big hello to Michal Habdank-Kolaczkowski ?? While Michal has seemingly endless talents, hobbies, and personality, he will be leading LabStart's communications - taking our presence from ad hoc to Skyhawk ??

"An entrepreneur's boundaries are first and foremost internal: he must hold boundaries with his own ambition, altruism, creativity, tenacity, and perfectionism. He must understand his sources of validation and his definitions of success.' And he better know how to recharge his battery while it's still running, because there are rarely any breaks." I'm so honored to be presenting to the entrepreneurs of LabStart today!!! I'll be teaching the psychology of #burnout, via my Burnout Blueprint. I can't wait for the honest conversations and deeply actionable #tools! Thanks so much for creating such an incredible program, Megan Holcomb!
