It's easy for entrepreneurs and leaders to get so caught up in the day-to-day that we fall into a kind of sleepiness. And for many, it takes a dark night of the soul to wake us up to what's really important. But what if we'd rather not wait for a crisis to find our way? How can we develop the self-awareness to lead with intention and follow our calling? Today, we're joined by E. Keller Fitzsimmons, the author of Lost in Startuplandia: Wayfinding for the Weary Entrepreneur. An accomplished tech entrepreneur and artist, she earned the Silvertip PwC Entrepreneurship Award and Speech Technology's Luminary Award. Kelly's VR production company, Custom Reality Services, premiered its first two projects at the prestigious Sundance Film Festival, and her work has appeared in Network Computing, InformationWeek and Inc. Kelly begins by sharing the health crisis that inspired Lost in Startuplandia and helped her step into her role as a creative. She explains how she learned to appreciate her strength of positivity and challenges us to own our strengths—and accept our shadow side. Listen in for Kelly's insight on why entrepreneurs and leaders need support from a ‘triad of truth tellers' and learn how to cultivate the self-belief it takes to move through heartbreak and live your purpose. Themes explored in this week's episode: How curiosity + creativity serve as the through line in Kelly's eclectic career The health crisis that inspired Kelly to write Lost in Startuplandia and redirected her to a path more in line with her purpose How Kelly learned to appreciate her strength of positivity and understand how it gave her the fortitude to be an entrepreneur The dark night of the soul that helped Kelly get in touch with her shadow side How we fall down as leaders when we make decisions to make ourselves look good Kelly's strategies for cultivating self-belief through little acts of courage and turning down our inner critic Knowing when to ‘stay in the game' and when to take a step back and heal Why we all need to establish a triad of truth tellers who help us make important decisions Kelly's current work with artists and musicians + how she is leaning into her own creativity Resources from this episode: Watch our conversation with Kelly on the Life & Leadership YouTube Channel Learn more about Kelly's work at Lost in Startuplandia Connect with Kelly on LinkedIn or Instagram Get your copy of Lost in Startuplandia: Wayfinding for the Weary Entrepreneur Explore Now, Discover Your Strengths or Strengths Finder 2.0 Discover the Center for Authentic Leadership Reframe your inner critic with Katie's Hidden Brilliance + Elizabeth Gilbert's Big Magic Listen to Chip Conley's interview on Sounds True Find out more about the Modern Elder Academy Explore Daniel Kahneman's work on cognitive biases Read about decision-making in Annie Duke's Thinking in Bets We would love to hear from you!

Eric Paulsen is joined by Kelly Fitzsimmons, serial entrepreneur and author of the new book "Lost In Startuplandia." She has had several successful exits with a variety of companies and investors - and some big failures. Her book eschews the usual "This is exactly how I succeeded and how you will too!" hype and notes how the infinite roads to success and surefire ways to fail. Lost In Startuplandia offers multiple perspectives and real-life examples to allow an entrepreneur to recognize and compare his or her own situation to serve as guidance... or caution. Topics include customer and location strategy, investors and pitfalls, better decision-making and confirmation bias, looking for people outside your own circle, "Zombie startups," and much more. Through the conversation, we also wander into Oculus Rift, Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, Moore's Law, how VR (virtual reality) programs could dramatically improve gaming, museums, film, storytelling and more, and a variety of topics.

Kelly Fitzsimmons is a 4X serial entrepreneur and pioneer in voice recognition technology, cyber security and virtual reality with several 8 and 9 figure businesses and exits to her name. She shares her ups and downs and important advice for women about how to leverage, profit and grow (and never hide) from failure, with a new book out this fall that tells the story of how entrepreneurs bounce back from extreme adversity.

Lucy Danziger was the editor-in-chief of Conde Nast’s Self Magazine, where she was a pioneer in digital publishing and grew online subscribers to 6.5 million. Now she’s reinventing herself as CEO and founder of Hintd, a social shopping and bookmarking website akin to Pinterest. We talk women in business, women’s health, and transformation.

We recently spoke with Matt Greeley, CEO of Brightidea a 16 year old “start-up” that has been leading the charge in solving an important problem for many global F500 companies, that of innovating in a scalable and repeatable way. While that may not seem like a tough problem for many of us in StartupLandia where innovation is the norm, for bigger companies leveraging new technologies and navigating the many ways to innovate is a huge challenge but one that is critical to survival. It was not that long ago companies experienced the longevity of markets represented through an average time spent on the S&P 500 of more than 50 years today that number has shrunk down to the teens.
