Hey Guys - I've written a new post which might cause some healthy debate

If you've ever been to a startup drinks/networking event, pitch or demo day - you'll know only too well that absolutely everyone is "killing it" or "crushing it" (maybe even "smashing it")..

Yet, we all know that building a startup just isn't like that and I think this culture where everybody claims to be doing really well and "fine" and "ok" is not only disingenuous, but bad for your Mental Health.

Have a read and let me know what you think
