Episode 11: Fear, Execution & the Inner War: - Inside the Mind of a Founder with Esmae Carr
from Audacity & Access
What does it actually take to build something from nothing and then sell it?In this episode of Audacity & Access, I sit down with my best friend Esmae Carr founder, entrepreneur, CEO, and founder of a healthcare company she built and sold - for one of the most honest conversations I've ever had on this podcast. We're not here to give you a highlight reel. We're here to talk about the real stuff: the fear before you start, the inner demons you fight every single day, the moments you wanted to quit, and what it actually takes to keep going when nobody is watching and nothing is working yet.Because entrepreneurship is sold to us as freedom and passion and building your dream. And it is all of those things. But it's also the hardest inner work you will ever do. And most people aren't ready for that part. This episode is for anyone who is just starting out, in the messy middle, or trying to find the courage to begin. In this episode we explore:- the fear that lives before you start anything and how to move through it- what execution actually looks like when motivation is gone- how to stay consistent in the quiet moments when no one sees you- why entrepreneurship is mostly an inner war — and how to win it- why you don't have to do it alone (and why asking for help is strength)- the psychotic belief you need to have that it's going to work- how working out every day became a science experiment in execution- goal setting, creating discomfort, and why you need new challenges after you win New episodes every week.Follow me on Instagram: @yourtrustfunddaughterFollow me on TikTok: @yourtrustfunddaughter
