Josh Romisher, CEO of LaunchLab in South Africa, shares his experience helping entrepreneurs and academics build startups and his ultimate focus on dealing with the "big wicked problem" of climate change. Being closely connected to Stellenbosch University, Josh shares how he leverages LaunchLab's relationship with SU in two directions; building startups from university research and ideas, and building startups with university experts. He also discusses the importance of passion, grit, and a growth mindset in entrepreneurship, and designing solutions for real needs rather than trying to commercialize research. Josh offers insights on universities as catalysts for innovation through partnerships between entrepreneurs, experts, and students, and reflects on applying entrepreneurial principles like having a clear mission and values in his personal life as a husband and father. Key themes include pursuing meaningful work, cultivating work-life balance, and fostering an entrepreneurial mindset in all aspects of life. — — — — Francois Esterhuizen is a life coach who helps professionals get unstuck and gain momentum, and a relationship counsellor with decades of experience who specialises in conflict and communication.
