Description

In this episode of The Disruptive Chef Entrepreneur, host Christian J. Fischer challenges entrepreneurs to face one of the hardest truths in business: sometimes the most powerful move you can make is letting go of your first venture. Drawing from his own experience of closing a restaurant and the lessons he now shares with clients, Christian unpacks the emotional traps of pride, sunk costs, and survivorship bias that keep founders stuck. He explains why ending what no longer serves you isn’t failure but freedom, creating space for growth, clarity, and new opportunities. This episode is a candid reminder that pruning the old is often the only way to make room for the next version of your success.
