A Founder's Life

“Work-Life Balance Is a Lie (Unless You Do This)" - Ron Green - Ep #27

Leo Gestetner Season 1 Episode 27

Ron Green has built 9 startups. But what he shares in this episode isn’t just about business — it’s about building a life that works.

As the CTO of Kung Fu AI, Ron is deep in the AI space. But behind his professional success lies a story of personal evolution: from burnout to balance, from overwork to intentional living.

In this conversation, Ron shares:
 • The real cost of “grind culture” and how it backfires
 • How he balances intense work with family, health, and fun
 • His philosophy on fitness, sleep, and why moderation wins
 • Hard-won startup lessons from biotech to AI
 • What most people get wrong about AI’s future
 • Why failing forward is a strength, not a weakness

Whether you’re a founder, future entrepreneur, or simply someone trying to build a better life — this one is for you.
