SUMMARY:Founder Mobility Index: A New Way to Measure Ecosystem Health
DESCRIPTION:Every founder can trace a few key decisions back to a moment of
  fear\, anger\, or desperation — and those emotions don't sit outside th
 e business\, they shape its future. The Founder Mobility Index is an analy
 tical framework and discussion initiative created by Debbie Irwin of Light
 house Network to explore the emotional\, psychological\, and circumstantia
 l factors driving the entrepreneurial experience. Rather than stopping at 
 the metrics on a pitch deck\, it looks at what's actually happening inside
  founders as they make the calls that define a company's trajectory — wh
 at drives them forward\, what holds them back\, and how emotional awarenes
 s can change where a company ends up. In this session\, Debbie Irwin and J
 ames Warren walk through the framework's core lenses: how emotional driver
 s like fear\, anger\, and urgency shape critical business decisions and lo
 ng-term trajectories\; how founder choices and mobility intersect with loc
 al ecosystems to influence regional innovation\; and how real founder stor
 ies reveal the tie between emotional awareness and leadership performance.
  Expect a candid look at the human side of building a company — and lang
 uage for naming what's actually driving your next decision.
