FOUNDER’S ROUNDTABLE: Who am I without my business?
Founders are constantly surrounded by one message
“Your startup is your identity.”
“Your work is your purpose.”
“Build something big.”
And somewhere along the way, the business stops being something you do…
It becomes something you are.
But real founder life comes with quieter questions
- Who am I when I’m not building?
- Who am I when I’m not achieving?
- Who am I when the business is slow… or struggling… or even doing well?
And what happens when the founder identity starts taking up all the space?
This WYBI Founder’s Roundtable is a space to explore what exists beyond the business.
Not through productivity hacks or motivational talk…
But through honest reflection, shared experiences, and deep listening with founders who understand what it feels like to carry a dream so closely.
This is not about detaching from ambition.
It’s about remembering you are more than your output.
What is this experience about?
This is a guided conversation circle designed for founders who want to slow down, reflect, and speak openly without pressure to perform, impress, or prove anything.
You won’t be told to “just balance life.”
You won’t be pushed to share more than you’re comfortable with.
The space is carefully held so conversations unfold naturally with softness, respect, and depth.
Why this topic?
Because for many founders…
The business becomes the anchor.
And also the weight.
Founders carry:
- Identity tied to success
- Fear of slowing down
- Guilt when resting
- A constant need to be “on”
- Quiet loneliness beneath achievement
- The question: If I stop… what’s left of me?
This roundtable exists to create room for those unspoken parts in a way that feels grounded, human, and supportive.
What to expect?
- A small, thoughtfully curated group of founders
- Roundtable seating (no stage, no hierarchy)
- A calm, distraction-free environment
- Guided reflections and facilitated conversations
- Clear boundaries to ensure psychological safety
- Space to listen, speak, or simply be present
Every element of the session is designed to help you feel at ease without emotional overwhelm.
Who should attend?
This roundtable is for you if
- You’re a founder or business owner
- Your business has started to feel like your whole identity
