In this episode of Emotional Business, Olga Skipper sits down with Nektarios Liolios—former banker, FinTech pioneer, and mental health advocate—to explore the unseen human side of startups.

From his early career in banking and FinTech to co-founding The Future Farm, Nektarios has experienced the high-stakes, high-stress reality of entrepreneurship. His story shines a light on the toll burnout can take—and why connection, resilience, and community are essential for building sustainable success.

This conversation explores:
  • The hidden costs of burnout in the startup ecosystem
  • Why connection and community are critical for resilience
  • How “rootedness” influences leadership and wellbeing
  • Realigning founding teams to sustain long-term ventures
  • How The Future Farm is normalizing conversations about founder mental health
  • The role of coaches, advisors, and emotional intelligence in supporting entrepreneurs

For founders, investors, and leaders alike, this episode is a reminder: sustainable startups begin with sustainable people.
