There is not a well-chalked path that you can take because both creating a path and walking on it is to be done by you, however, you can learn from those who made to the top. It can be anything that keeps your frustration away, yoga, drums, games or guitar.
Airbnb started out in 2008 when founders Brian Chesky and Joe Gebbia realised, they could make a quick buck by renting out an air mattress in their living room to people visiting San Francisco for a big conference. The idea then evolved into a website where others could do the same, and travellers could get a cheaper option than a hotel. They famously did things that did not scale and then growth hacked solutions so that they did. Each time a listing was made in their area on Craigslist, they would email the homeowner and ask if they would like to list on Airbnb. The homeowner would then spread the word about this new booking platform. After finding success in doing this manually, they created a script that would automatically email all new listings on Craigslist and notify them about Airbnb. It also shows that they realised early on that the key to success on the platform would be getting hosts to list their properties.

For me, my morning practice is vital to stay on track and energized. Wherever I am in the world, I start my day around 5.30/6.00 am with a morning routine. At the moment I'm in Brazil by the beach, so my morning practice consists of a 20-minute HIIT-style workout, followed by yoga stretches, Wim Hof, a swim in the sea and then Tony Robbins' priming exercise. But that varies according to where I am, what the weather is like and what I can do outside. I prefer to always go outside or, at least, do my morning practice by an open terrace or balcony door to get plenty of fresh air.
I really notice the difference when I skip my morning practice. It makes a world of difference to my energy levels and general health.
Being a big fan of continual growth and always reaching the next level in life. I would say that staying on a growth trajectory means you already have one or you need to set/make one and then stay consistent on it.
Continual growth for me means not only continual learning but also applying what you are learning on real life as quick as possible and learn from the experience. Knowledge alone means nothing if not applied in the specific knowledge area whether it is health, finance, business, relationships, etc...
Knowing your goals and where do you want to go in that specific area of life where you want to grow is the start. Then the hacks comes with sitting the growth plan (and stick to it) to make sure your are spending enough time on a daily basis doing at least one action that gets you closer to your growth/goals.

How do you, as a working parent, balance work/life? Do you think it's stressful to be a parent? If yes/no, why?
OF COURSE IT'S STRESSFUL TO BE A PARENT!!! It's the hardest damn job in the world. Not sure you can have balance though. You just need to have a dream, execute your plan, and fix what is broken at the time. It's about priorities... Use tools to keep you scheduled and accountable. You'll be OK.DW

How do you create work-life balance?
Set parameters based on life, not work. For example, commit to never miss a child's event or date lunch/dinner. Leave work at work. Take vacations without your smartphone, iPad and computer (something I struggle with!).MM

What are some tools/systems every project manager should know about?
That would depend on what you're trying to accomplish and who you are as a manager and individual. Off the top of my head I can tell you that Podio, Asanna and Basecamp are all popular project management tools. Which one you use really depends on you and the features you want. On a personal level I use Trello which I make work for me. It has the features I want and allows me to display information that seems logical to me. I suggest that you play around with all them and find which one works best for you. If I'm off the mark and you're asking about a specific system I suggest scrum. Although scrum is most talked associated with building agile products I've successfully used it on a wide variety of projects technical and non technical. Hope this helps and best of luck!JB

How to balance being a co-founder with social life and relationships?
As a fellow workaholic, I can't possibly advise you. But there's an excellent podcast series by an acquaintance / former client of mine called Dadverb that's all about balancing work life with fatherhood. He interviews successful entrepreneurs about how they find the right work-life balance. You may not be a father. Neither am I. But I remember the very first interview in the podcast (with the creator of Ruby on Rails) as being right up your alley. Dadverb.com redirects to the series. Check it out!JP
