Founders experience difficult moments.

Many of the cofounders I work with experience an emotional rollercoaster while building and scaling a successful company. And as many of you know, that rollercoaster is intense.

Several clients have asked me for recommendations on how to handle the moments of difficulty in a healthy, productive manner because they have noticed adverse effects from not managing their emotions well.

In this article, I will save you time and mindshare by giving you one such tool: Journaling with ChatGPT.

Common Misunderstanding

When most of us think of journaling, we think of something like this:
