The Founders-Authors' Panel: Gali Bloch Liran, Ra'anan Cohen and Yaniv Rivlin on The Courage to Open Up and Reveal the Human Side of Entrepreneurship

In this special live episode, recorded at the LeumiTech launch event for the digital course "The Human Founder," I hosted a founders-authors' talk with Ra'anan Cohen, entrepreneur and author of the bestseller "Confessions of a Unicorn Founder”, Yaniv Rivlin, entrepreneur, podcaster, and author of the bestseller "Live like a Startup", and myself, Gali Bloch Liran, founder & CEO, author of “The Human Founder”, podcaster, and a trusted advisor to CEOs.

This was a "Fast and Furious" Q&A session where we stripped away the masks and shared raw, honest, and vulnerable answers about entrepreneurship, writing, and everything in between. We delved into the deep motivations behind a founder’s decision to write a book, the loneliness and fear that accompany the entrepreneurial journey, the extreme uncertainty of founder life, and the personal costs that come with putting it all on paper.

The conversation sparked fascinating insights into the intersection of entrepreneurship and literature - two worlds that may seem far apart, yet both demand the same courage for exposure, vulnerability, and creating something out of nothing. Throughout the session, the audience raised incredible questions, and had we not been required to clear the room, the conversation could have easily continued for hours.

This is a must-listen episode, not only for those considering writing a book, but for anyone seeking to understand the inner world of entrepreneurship and to be reminded that at the end of the day, the real wisdom lies in being present in the moment and never being afraid to pursue new dreams at every stage of the journey.
