Description

In our modern day lens, entrepreneurship has become a huge trend. People fantasize over quitting their jobs, becoming their own boss, and gaining financial freedom. Everyone wants to be the next Steve Jobs, Oprah or Jeff Bezos. We get caught up with social influencers and billion-dollar startups aka the land of fairies and unicorns. People often forget the time, energy and money that gets invested into earning these magical moments. The nights spent crying, waking up to negative bank account balances, spats of depression, or working 22 hour work days. All entrepreneurs go through phases of misadventures. We are driven, persistent, hardworking, ambitious, we are doers, and these are our stories.

We are back from a short Break with the doing the most podcast. After weeks of reflection, I’ve come to one key realization: WE ARE NOT OKAY. Now that we have acknowledged here’s what we will do next.
In various spaces, although I was welcomed and embraced there was always a looming sense of “I am an outsider, I don't belong here”. This feeling brought on a huge sense of loneliness in my life. I was surrounded by people externally but internally I felt alone.
I have been stuck in my head for almost the past 2 years. Social media will do that to you, grief will do that to you, depression and anxiety will do that to you. Lack of Belonging and community will do that to you.The last few months have been the first time in a long time I feel abundant again. I feel free, I feel whole, I feel ready to embrace myself and my life for what it is, not just what I want it to be. In this episode, I welcome listeners back to the show for a brand new season! This is my first episode recorded in 2021. If you thought seasons 1 through 4 were raw and honest, well you are in for a ride for season 5. The conversation doesn’t stop here.

"One business coach has forged his approach to helping entrepreneurs and business executives by using a monumental personal failure and eventual redemption to help get others where they need to go to find their personal success and fulfillment.At just 18 years old, Miha Matlievski, a Slovenian high school dropout, dreamed of becoming a successful entrepreneur. And he pursued it with a passion, putting in 12 years of hard work that resulted in four successful businesses and a personal net worth of $15M. But in December 2009, an unexpected call from his bank, which had decided to foreclose on his real estate investments, brought his world crashing down around him.
