From Startup Chaos to Community Building: Tash Bristowe on Wellbeing & the Freelance Journey
Welcome to another episode of Startup Leaders Talk, a segment of the @JustBeBetter_Podcast where we dive into the minds of startup founders and executives shaping the ecosystem.
In this episode, I sit down with Tash Bristowe, a startup specialist, founder of Kimward Consulting, and community builder, to discuss the evolving landscape of startups, workplace well-being, and the freelance journey.
Tash shares her unexpected leap into freelancing, how she built her own consultancy, and why mental health in startups still has a long way to go. We also explore the challenges of scaling communities, the impact of DEI cuts and AI on HR, and why knowing when to leave a startup is just as important as knowing when to join one.
Plus, Tash takes on our Speedy Startup segment, answering rapid-fire questions like:
💬 Worst interview question ever?
💬 Most overrated buzzword in business?
💬 One mistake all founders make?
Topics covered:
✅ How startups are (and aren’t) improving mental health support
✅ The reality of freelancing after corporate life
✅ Building engaging and supportive startup communities
✅ The future of HR tech, DEI, and AI in startups
✅ Advice for professionals navigating the startup world
🔥 Don’t miss this candid conversation about the highs, lows, and lessons of startup life!
