Great podcast on important and often overlooked topics for entrepreneurs. Helped me to connect with my craft from a different angle.

Disclaimer... I just barely tipped the tip of my tiniest toe into the waters of entrepreneurship so that’s not what originally drew me to this podcast. Rather, I got to know Sherry during yoga training several years ago and was immediately drawn to her as a pure and authentic human being. Might...Read full review »

Love how you focussed on the exhale in the guided meditation. Belly breathing was so nice - I got it reversed in the beginning. Meditation is such an important part of entrepreneurship to keep yourself sane :)

This is one of the only podcasts I know of that actually dives into the energetics, interpersonal dynamics and pyschological sparring that naturally occurs when building a business. The work of being an entrepreneur doesn't just impact the person leading/growing/starting the business, and...Read full review »

Truly appreciate this podcast for all the real conversations Sherry and Rob have with each other and their guests. And even more so because they cover topics typically skipped over or avoided alltogether in startup/founder discussions (ex. the impact of entrepreneurship on families, maintaining a...Read full review »

Being a successful founder isn't all about the best marketing & product strategies. There is so much to keep in check outside our businesses that have to do with healthy relationships and a proper mental state. This podcast has both useful founder husband/wife discussions (hosts Rob &...Read full review »

I am so thankful to Rob and Sherry for simply being honest about their lives and their struggles on this podcast. Rob's background as a starter (not that Sherry isn't or doesn't also have the knowledge) has been super helpful for me and Sherry's knowledge of Psychology have been...Read full review »

Sherry and Rob to a great job talking about founders and how it affects your life and family. Unfortunatly being a founder is not always roses. Their mix of experiences and professional lives allows them to provide amazing content to help keep founders heading in the right direction and focusing...Read full review »

After meeting Rob and Sherry in person I was eager to listen to the podcast. When free time finally arrived, I listened to my first episode. Then I listened to another episode and another episode after that. As an accidental entrepreneur this podcast really speaks to both the emotional and...Read full review »

Wow this is a life saving podcast. Being a founder-wife myself this podcast let me know I am not alone. Sherry and Rob are a perfect balance of entrepreneur and real life people. My husband loves Startups For The Rest Of Us and told me about Zen Founder a few months back. Ever since I listened...Read full review »

I definately lean towards tactical rather than mindset, I'm glad I put that aside to give this podcast a shot. There have been several episodes that were exactly what I needed to listen to. The format the whole podcast is earnest and high quality. I would recommend it to anyone who is even...Read full review »

Great to hear how these two navigate their careers & family life in such a function way. Was very interesting listening to all of the changes going on and the various ways they adjust. Found this after listening to Startups for the Rest of us and searching for other podcasts w/Rob -...Read full review »

Sometimes, it gets really frustrating to explain why you’re doing certain things. Sometimes, you want to convey certain ideas to your children, but they don’t necessarily want to listen to you. Sometimes you just want to spin things and have people “spontaneously” think of other ways to do...Read full review »

Having recently attended MicroConf Europe I already had a lot of respect for Rob and Sherry as people who make a genuine and deliberate effort to reach out and help others going through similar experiences as they have. I made a point of downloading the entire back catalog of the Zen Founder and...Read full review »

Don't think that the advice here applies just to being a founder. I love the in depth discussions about how to balance technical, business with the mental and psychological side of oneself.Read full review »

I listen to this podcast on long country bike rides and every time I finish with a bunch of ideas to implement at work and in my home life. Invaluable.
neuron via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 06/03/15
I listen to Zen Founder from the 5th episode, and every piece is completely worth it. Just listen to first 5 minutes of the episode about entrepreneurial kids. I got my mind literally blown, as I am myself a dad of 3 years old, and the topic that has been discussed resonates with my current state...Read full review »

Rob and Sherry’s Zen Founder podcast has quickly become one of my favorites and I look forward to each new episode. I’m not a founder, but I’m the wife of an aspiring founder, and I really appreciate Rob and Sherry’s perspective into this life that we’re trying to head toward. I feel like it...Read full review »

I can't really stress enough how great Sherry and Rob are. I've never met them or even talked to them but have to say they're the best people on the Internet today. They provide awesome views on life and have a great way of sharing their lives and wisdom.Read full review »

I am following Rob and Mike with their "Startups for the rest of us” podcast since I started creating my own business 2010. This podcast here is a great addition - since it does not only include the business itself - but also family and life. I have a wife & 8 year old daughter and see myself in...Read full review »

It's not always easy bringing your significant other into your entrepreneurial world. What I love about this podcast more than any other is the opportunity to have my wife listen when we drive.

The Wallings make an excellent couple to do this type of podcast. I didn't realize how useful this podcast would be until listening to a few episodes. I'd definitely recommend that you download a few.

I’ll admit I’m a bit of a Rob fanboy & have seen Sherry’s talk at MicroConf US 2014. As a subscriber of quite a few startup podcasts, I find this to be a nice breath of fresh air. My wife and I are listening to it in parallel & talk about the episodes after we listen to them in passing…...Read full review »

Running a startup can be stressful. Rob & Sherry are sharing some great advice on how to stay calm + focus on living a great life in the face of the constant turmoil that one faces on his entrepreneurial journey.

I really enjoyed the first four episodes of this original and very insightful podcast wit lots of useful advice and honesty from the front line.
markee174 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 02/22/15
I’ve got to be honest, I subscribe to a good deal of startup podcasts and after a while I sort of get numb to the same messages repeated over and over. This podcast is different. Rob and Sherry take each of their unique gifts as professionals, and combine them with their relationship as a family....Read full review »
