#19 Emotional Runway: How to Build Unshakable Commitment as a Founder with Pavlo Pedenko

In this episode of Business Savages, host Olya Grovel welcomes Pavlo Pedenko, co-founder of the STEM tutoring platform Mathema.me. Pavlo shares his journey from Ukraine to building a thriving ed-tech startup, revealing the unexpected hurdles of scaling a business in different cultural and economic landscapes. They discuss the importance of emotional and financial runway for entrepreneurs, the highs and lows of startup life, and the lessons learned from navigating crises like the war in Ukraine. Pavlo also explores his nonlinear career path and how his diverse experiences shaped his resilience as a founder.


Learning Takeaways:

  1. Understanding Your Runway: Learn why maintaining a personal and emotional runway is as critical as securing a financial runway for your business.

  2. Scaling Across Cultures: Pavlo shares lessons from expanding into new markets and the unexpected challenges of addressing local needs.

  3. Impact over Busyness: Discover why true progress matters more than appearing busy in both corporate and entrepreneurial settings.

  4. The Value of Gratitude: Pavlo’s exercise of daily gratitude offers a mental reset, even amidst high-stress environments.

  5. Commitment as a Superpower: The importance of persevering through the tough moments without searching for shortcuts.

Homework:

  1. Emotional Check-In: Assess your personal and emotional runway. Write down what’s fueling your energy and what’s draining it, then make one change to prioritize your well-being.

  2. Gratitude Practice: For the next week, write down three things you’re grateful for each day. Reflect on how this shifts your mindset.

  3. Impact Audit: Track your daily activities and assess if they’re leading to meaningful progress or just keeping you busy. Eliminate at least one task that doesn’t contribute to your goals.

  4. Cultural Exploration: Research a market or audience you’re unfamiliar with and write down three unique characteristics or needs that could shape your approach.
