The Wise Founder: How Ancient Insights Unlock Modern Business Deadlocks

Modern startup culture trains founders to tackle problems with two main tools: Knowledge (data) and Intelligence (brainpower). But when you're navigating complex, high-stakes decisions, those two tools aren't enough. You end up drowning in information, hitting deadlocks, and burning out. Co-hosted by Unrest and Robbie Swale, the author of The Power to Choose, this interactive workshop explores the forgotten third side of the problem-solving triangle: Wisdom. We’ll look at how timeless concepts from ancient traditions are quietly powering some of today's most effective leadership frameworks. You'll walk away with a fresh lens for complex decision-making and a practical way to break through your toughest roadblocks. What We’ll Cover Map Your Problems: Learn when logic works, and use frameworks like Cynefin to spot when a challenge actually requires wisdom instead. Trio Wisdom Labs: Tap into the collective wisdom of your peers in small groups to tackle real, live operational sticky spots. Daily Integration: Simple practices to bring wisdom habits into your daily cadence as an impact leader. Before You Arrive Bring the one knottiest, most stubborn problem currently facing your business - the one that’s been dragging on, defying logic, and keeping you stuck. Together, we’ll look at it through a completely new lens.
