In this special episode of The Startup CEO Show, host Mark MacLeod shares his extensive experience with venture-backed startup CEOs and discusses strategies to help CEOs lead their companies effectively without burning out.

Mark dives into the importance of prioritizing health, fitness, mindset, and human connections, introducing frameworks such as the "CEO perpetual growth loop" and the "five factors of health" from Ben Bergeron. He also emphasizes the significance of living with intention and creating boundaries to ensure long-lasting leadership and satisfaction in life.

Since 1999, I have sat at the right-hand side of the leaders of high growth technology companies as either a CFO, VC or deal maker. I served as CFO for software companies including Shopify (NYSE: SHOP) and Freshbooks. As a CFO I experienced outright failures, wildly profitable exits, and everything in between.

I was a General Partner in Real Ventures, Canada's largest and most active seed stage fund. My investments there include the fund's largest cash on cash and highest IRR returns to date. Most recently, I founded SurePath Capital Partners the leading investment bank for SMB SaaS companies where we did hundreds of millions in financing and exit transactions.
