Develop a healthier relationship with yourself and your business.
Most of us became entrepreneurs to be free. But before we know it, the one thing that was supposed to free us from the shackles or corporate life has trapped us. Even worse, we’ve started to sympathize with our captors. There is a way out. It just requires a new way of thinking and some practice.

Why It’s Needed
Why “Crushing It” May Be Killing You
For some, entrepreneurship has become a legitimate mental health condition. Undoubtedly more socially acceptable than street drugs, needing to kill it, crush it, close a whale, or raise a big round are physiologically no different than getting your “fix”. The need for more has never been more persistent and once you’ve had a taste it’s nearly impossible to get the monkey off your back.
Don’t believe me?
Did you know entrepreneurs are…
2x more likely to suffer from depression.
10x more likely to suffer from bi-polar disorder
3x more likely to suffer from substance abuse
2x more likely to have a psychiatric hospitalization
6x more likely to suffer from ADHD symptoms
2x more likely to have suicidal thoughts and ideations

A note from Gv
Hi, I’m Gv Freeman. I’m a self-awarness coach, psychedelic counselor, and serial entrepreneur. For the past 25 years, I’ve been living at the center of a marketing, sales, product, and self-care Venn diagram.
In 2007 I was miserable and unhappy so I decided it was time to make some changes. First, I let go of alcohol. Not long after I discovered psychotherapy. Then, in 2012 I officially “stepped onto the path” and became a certified yoga teacher. For the past decade, I found myself living two lives. The first: consulting and coaching successful tech startups and founders how to to grow and scale themselves and their companies. The second: a path of consciousness and self-knowledge; drinking ayahuasca with shamans in the Amazon jungle, sitting for 10 days in silent meditation with Buddhists, studying Vedantic philosophy with an Indian Swami, and countless other experiences that have guided the path I now travel in pursuit of living an integrated life. #worklifebalanceisbullshit
Founders Thriving in the merging and manifestation of that path. An opportunity for deeper self-awareness and the expansion of conscious awareness while at the same time, continuing to grow and succeeed on a professional level. If you’ve felt like there’s something missing (and maybe not even sure what it is) please shoot me a message. The path is wiser than the traveler and you’re perfect and right on time.
