Hello! I’m Dr. Gena Gorlin, a faculty member in the Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology at Yeshiva University (and soon to be in the Department of Psychology at the University of Texas at Austin) and a licensed psychologist specializing in the needs of ambitious people looking to build.
The purpose of this newsletter is to catalogue what I learn through my scholarly research and applied work with these individuals, and to build a community of people similarly engaged in the work of “building the builders”—whether just within themselves, or also within those they manage, mentor, or coach.
Sometimes I’ll share takeaways from my academic research, other times from my clinical and coaching work. Since I’m coaching a lot of startup founders these days (thanks to an incredible partnership with Entrepreneur First), my observations and examples may be over-indexed on them, but I expect most of the underlying principles will generalize more widely. My posting frequency varies widely with what else I’m doing and what I have to say, but you can generally expect at least one post per month, give or take.
Now go subscribe, and let’s get building!
