Description

What if every “no” you heard was just the universe redirecting you towards your true calling? For Jonathan Petrides, a string of rejections set him on the path to plant-based startup success. In this candid conversation, JP shares his journey from management consultant to mission-driven entrepreneur as he bootstrapped plant-based startup AllPlants from his home kitchen. Learn how JP overcame rejection, self-doubt, and early startup challenges with resilience, resourcefulness and a relentless desire to make an impact. Discover how he scaled AllPlants rapidly while staying true to his purpose of inspiring the world to eat more plants. JP reflects openly on everything from fundraising dilemmas and hiring hurdles to maintaining kindness and enjoyment amidst the rollercoaster ride of entrepreneurship. Walk away inspired, equipped with practical tips, and remembering that we all have potential waiting to be unlocked. - - - On the growth mindset podcast with Sam Webster Harris, we explore the psychology of happiness, satisfaction, purpose, and growth through the lens of self-improvement.
