Most founders talk about scaling their businesses — but few talk about the hidden cost their body, mind, and family pay along the way.
In this episode of Founder Talk, I sit down with Magdalena Wrobel to uncover what it really takes to build a business without breaking yourself in the process.

Magdalena shares her journey of stepping away from the corporate grind to design a life and career built around wellness, flexibility, and presence. She opens up about the moment she realized her pace wasn’t sustainable, why she transitioned into consulting, and how moving her family to a farm in Wisconsin completely transformed their health, learning, and rhythm.

We also dig deep into the founder wellness gap:why sitting is destroying your longevity, why walking is more powerful than most think, and how simple posture and movement habits can save you from years of pain, fatigue, or burnout. She breaks down the reality of modern work, from the endless Zoom calls, screen fatigue, to the poor ergonomics, and explains the small daily shifts that protect your body while keeping your business moving forward.

Magdalena also talks about raising resilient kids in a hyper-digital world. She shares why her children aren’t allowed to rely on AI, why foundational thinking still matters, and why she believes mental strength will be the defining skill of the next generation.

You’ll learn:
✅ How to build a business without burning out your body

✅ Why posture and movement are performance multipliers

✅ How small ergonomic changes protect long-term health

✅ What real-world learning on a farm teaches kids that school can’t

✅ How to redesign your lifestyle to support family and founder freedom

✅ Why boundaries around tech and devices matter more than ever

If you’re trying to build a company and a life that can actually last, this episode will change how you think about success, energy, parenting, and the daily habits that keep entrepreneurs performing at their highest level.
