#53 - Matthew Helt on Mindfulness, Introversion in Entrepreneurship, & Mental Health First Aid

Matthew Helt is a growth and development coach for startup founders and CEOs under his coaching practice, Prairiesattva, based in Omaha, NE. Prior to starting his business in 2020, Matthew spent a little over 6 years with Techstars as the Global Director of Startup Week, a week-long event to catalyze and celebrate startup communities, and then joined the Ecosystem Development team where he served as the Senior Implementation Consultant, working with cities around the world to help them grow their entrepreneurial ecosystems.

As a former startup founder, he's intimately aware of the stress and anxiety that comes with business ownership. It's for this reason that he created his coaching practice to help entrepreneurs navigate the highs and lows of business ownership, and ultimately come home to themselves to fully understand who they are as human beings.

Additionally, I’ll be donating to and raising awareness for the charity or organization of my guest’s choice with each episode now. This episode, the organization is called Mental Health First Aid. Any and all donations make a difference!
