In this deeply personal episode of Konkursklubben, former nightlife mogul and now addiction therapist Jean von Baden, aka Jean Glistrup, shares his raw and intense life story. For Jean, bankruptcy wasn’t a shock—it felt like the inevitable outcome of a life he describes as one long series of failures, starting in childhood.
This episode explores the deeper question: Can you build a successful business if you’re not at peace with yourself?
Jean shares his perspective on the foundational work every entrepreneur needs to do before starting a business. He argues that unresolved personal issues, coping mechanisms, and bad habits will only grow under the pressure of a crisis.
This conversation goes beyond financial challenges, addressing the emotional and psychological aspects of failure and recovery. Jean’s candid reflections offer invaluable insights for anyone navigating the highs and lows of entrepreneurship.
