The Gap Between Wanting It and Living It

It’s easy to look at someone who’s already built a fulfilling life or business and think, “Well, it’s easy for them because of X, Y, or Z.” What we’re seeing is the result, not the uncertainty, risk, or years of choosing the harder path before it made sense. We see it already created. Already done. Sure, it looks easy in hindsight.D. Brooke Pfautz, founder of Vintory shares with us what it looks like to build a life and career off the beaten path.

Brooke shares the emotional highs and lows of entrepreneurship, the long road to building a team of 40+ specialists, having support along the way, and why fulfillment and clarity sometimes come after the commitment to something new, not before it.This conversation is a reminder that what feels out of reach usually isn’t as far off as we first think.
