Aspiring Founders Meetup #5
Are you an aspiring founder in Berlin and feels overwhelmed with pursuing your self employed or startup idea? Employed.world wants to create a safe space for people affected by layoffs in Berlin and want to be able to pursue their ideas or self employment initiatives and have a support system which can offer know-how network and access.
Our fifth meetup is joined by:
1. Ricardo Brito
Work & Life Coach
Building a business is not just about the best strategies, business, or logical choices. It's about facing who you are, on the inside.
In this talk, "Building a Business, Rebuilding Yourself", Ricardo will guide us on a journey to explore the emotional side of becoming a solopreneur. From confronting limiting beliefs to facing fears, anxieties, and your relationship with money, this work demands more than just external action, it asks you to grow as a person.
Ricardo has worn many hats—illustrator, designer, product strategist, innovator and even a failed filmmaker. Each role has added a new layer to his toolkit, built on real-world experience, resilience, and a passion for doing work that matters.
Having built a business from scratch and faced the sleepless nights, doubts, and hard-earned victories that come with it, Ricardo is fully committed to helping aspiring founders navigate the strategic, emotional and practical challenges of solopreneurship.
