Description

Being a founder is one of the most rewarding — and isolating — journeys you can take. In this episode, we sit down with Howie Sher to explore the emotional and strategic decisions behind building a business alone versus bringing on cofounders.

We unpack:

  • How to know if you’re meant to build solo or with a team
  • The pros and cons of going it alone
  • How to handle decision fatigue and emotional weight as a solo founder
  • Strategies for building your support system and avoiding burnout
  • What to look for in a cofounder — and what to avoid

Whether you’re going solo by choice or circumstance, this conversation offers real talk and practical advice for staying grounded, connected, and confident on the founder path
