The Resilient Founder: Building a Startup That Glows in the Glowconomy

Ready to build a business that shines through disruption?

Welcome to the Glowconomy—a new era where startups radiate purpose, adaptability, and creative energy. Whether you're a first-time founder or a seasoned entrepreneur, building a resilient business in 2026 means navigating AI acceleration, climate volatility, gig work fluidity, and shifting social values. To thrive, your startup needs more than grit—it needs glow.

This two-hour online workshop is designed for purpose-driven entrepreneurs who want to build startups that last, adapt, and inspire. Whether you're launching a service brand, scaling a tech tool, or transitioning from freelance to founder, this session gives you the tools to futureproof your business in a world that rewards authenticity and agility.


🌟 What You’ll Learn:
  • Startup Reality Check: Decode the forces shaping the Glowconomy—AI disruption, housing instability, labor fluidity, and climate risk. Learn how to turn systemic challenges into strategic advantages.
  • AI Risk Mapping for Founders: Use our 2026 AI Risk Checklist to identify threats like synthetic fraud, algorithmic bias, and supply chain blind spots—before they dim your glow.
  • Your Resilience Blueprint: Build a flexible, founder-friendly plan that covers digital security, adaptive staffing, and climate-aware operations. You’ll begin filling out your own Resilience Plan Template during the session.
  • Tools to Take Home: Walk away with plug-and-play resources including:
    • Fillable Resilience Plan Template
    • Startup Risk & Resource Guide
    • AI Risk Readiness Checklist
    • Investor-Ready Resilience Talking Points
