XXIX: 24 y/o Entrepreneur: I Achieved Someone Else's Dream

Jaden Joseph built UPLFT out of the trunk of his car, watched it go to zero, and moved home at 22 still certain it would work. It did. What nobody asks him about is what came after the money got sorted: the empty apartment, the friends he'd put on the altar of business, and a terrace in Vietnam where he looked at a view he'd paid for and thought, this feels like somebody else's dream. That question, what is actually worth wanting, walked him out of fitness, into philosophy, and straight into theology. His first podcast, ever, at the top of a mountain at sunset.Fear was the fuel.
