Episode Notes

Starting a business is a unique endeavor: from joy and celebration to fear and self-doubt. Navigating the oceans of entrepreneurship requires inner and outer resourcing. In this episode we look at how start-ups demand the best of us and ask us to evolve and grow alongside the business. We share how it feels to set a direction while stepping completely into the unknown. Starting a business is one of the most fun adventures of a life time yet we must respect that a founder is prepared for the journey ahead.

Key topics include:

• How entrepreneurship pushes you to confront fears and limitations
• The lessons learned through failure and perseverance
