014: When the Bank Account is Bordering on Broke

Everyone loves to talk about failure after they’ve survived it. But what does it sound like when you’re still in it? This episode is your backstage pass to the messy, uncertain, in-between season of running two businesses—one growing, one slowing—and trying to keep it all together while your bank account flashes warning signs behind the scenes. I’m pulling back the curtain on what failure actually looks like in real time, why perception can cost you relationships, and what no one talks about when they say “don’t compare your beginning to someone else’s middle.” If you’ve ever looked at someone online and thought “I must be the only one struggling”—this one’s for you.
