E42: Jeremy Barr - Founder Mentor, Building an Investor & Founder Network, & Training Your Mind

Jeremy Barr is a founder mentor, providing leadership advice to entrepreneurs with a unique and detailed approach. Jeremy has extensive experience as a software developer, was a chief technology officer, and is now CEO of his coaching platform Rocket Mindset as well being a VC.

Jeremy went from "super nerd" to "super social" through deliberate processes and actions - allowing him to become much more confident with time. He puts huge emphasis on micro-behaviours and technically breaks down what characteristics founders need to show to achieve success, which he delivers through his work as a founder mentor. Important takeaways include how to navigate investor conversations, how to improve bad social skills, and how to stop chasing the bag 💰

We discuss Jeremy's background, how it molded him today, his approach to coaching, his framework for founders and leaders, his work as a mentor, how to train your mind to improve your skills, adopting the right mentality, the importance of body language, how to navigate investor conversations and pitches, how to improve social skills, putting yourself out there, the value of experiences and getting to know yourself, finding your purpose, having an expansionary mindset, and how to avoid chasing short-term dopamine hits. Plus, we talk about how he got bored with money (!), stopped chasing the bag and decided he wanted to be more impact-driven.
