ÜBER DIESE EPISODE
You think you are chasing success. But sometimes you are actually outrunning yourself. Entrepreneurship looks powerful on the outside, but inside it can quietly drain you if your identity is tied to the role instead of the person. This business podcast conversation is about that tension. About ambition, burnout, and what real motivation actually costs. Gem Dentith fainted on a commuter train while pregnant, working inside the UK Home Office. That collapse forced a full reset. Today, Gem Dentith is a CEO, executive coach, and author of Undressed, leading Gem Dentith Global and working with startup founders, senior leaders, and government executives across the UK and internationally. With 15+ years in change and transformation roles, including program and portfolio leadership inside the UK government, she has coached high-growth tech startups and C-suite leaders on leadership skills, entrepreneur mindset, and nervous system regulation. Her work blends neuroscience, executive coaching, and business strategy to help leaders build success stories and build toward financial freedom without burning out. This conversation covers entrepreneurship, business advice, founder stories, and the inner mechanics that shape leadership. From startup advice and scaling a business to identity and resilience, this is a CEO interview that gets personal.
