18 – When They Don't Get It: Handling Pushback from Leaders, Parents & Partners

Starting your own business is exciting—but what happens when the people around you don't understand or support your decision? Whether it's school leaders questioning your choices, colleagues doubting your path, parents expressing concern, or even a partner who doesn't fully buy in, pushback is an inevitable part of stepping into entrepreneurship.   In this episode, Tom and Nat explore why resistance happens, what it really means, and how to navigate it without losing momentum. Drawing from their own experiences and the wisdom of The War of Art by Steven Pressfield, they break down practical strategies for handling skepticism, addressing concerns with confidence, and staying committed to your vision—even when the people around you don't see it yet.   If you've ever felt discouraged by the reactions of those around you, this conversation will help you move forward with clarity, courage, and conviction.
