This is a deep dive into the psychology of a resilient founder. You'll learn why he believes his own brother was the biggest bottleneck in their company, how he uses "tactical empathy" to de-escalate any conflict, and why the most important skill you can learn is to accept your losses and force yourself to keep going.
