All the businesses that I have ever owned

Sometimes the most fascinating part of a founder’s story isn’t the wins you see today, it’s the messy, unpredictable journey that got them there.

It’s an honest, no-filter look at the reality of entrepreneurship, the grind, the setbacks, and the growth that comes with them.
