Before the promotions and glow-ups came the grind.

This episode dives into the unspoken early-career struggles that shape every success story — the sleepless nights, the broke seasons, the silent doubts.

We explore:

- Why everyone hides their early-career pain

- The reality of survival in today’s economy

- How to stay motivated when you’re stuck

- Why struggle builds resilience, not failure

If you’ve ever felt behind, this one’s for you.
