About Mike Reid
For as long as I can remember, I’ve always geeked out at the intersection of ‘business x human potential’ To me, entrepreneurship feels like the ultimate personal growth tool. It’s a force function for taking you to the edge of chaos and order; comfort and discomfort; pain and pleasure. The duality of those opposing forces is, in part, what I think I find so thrilling. Constantly being pushed and pulled by the swirling currents of market forces. In business, the only truth is the result. It’s a game of ultimate accountability, personal responsibility and extreme ownership. You can't hide as entrepreneur. You must face your fears, insecurities and self-doubts head on if you want to have any chance of making a success of it. When I joined forces with my co-founders to build Dent into what is a leading accelerator for entrepreneurs globally, it’s only with the benefit of hindsight that I understand why I'm so passionate about what we do. For me, I feel called to lead an extraordinary life and for others to experience the same thing. Extraordinary doesn’t have to mean sending rockets into space (although wouldn’t that be cool! Erh hmm #ElonEnvy). It just means leading a life that’s anything other than, well, ordinary. You see, mediocrity scares me. It’s like a big golem rearing it’s ugly head over my shoulder, pushing me to be a bit better each week, month and year. Sure, I’m not the most accomplished, good looking or successful person rolling around LinkedIn. But I’m working hard to be a little better every year and hopefully inspiring hundreds of entrepreneurs to do the same through our accelerator programs. I think these stories are inspiring examples of that… 👉 https://dent.community Or the recommendations on my profile from my clients show my genuine desire for them to have their own version of ‘extraordinary’ too.
