024 | Scaling Without Breaking Yourself: Bonny Morlak on Founder Happiness, Hustle Culture and the Messy Middle
In this episode of the German Innovators Podcast, Johannes and Betty speak with founder-turned-scale-up coach Bonny Morlak about the hidden emotional risks of startup life.
Bonny shares lessons from building and selling companies, living between Germany, Australia and the US, and coaching founders through the messy middle after product-market fit.
The conversation explores toxic hustle culture, founder identity, delegation, emotional sales, global startup ecosystems, and why scaling a company should not come at the cost of health, relationships or happiness.
