Rejection was the Fuel for this Entrepreneur's Fire | Paul Hedrick, Tecovas - Unlocking Moves Ep 27
Description
“A chip on a shoulder is a VERY powerful tool”
Join us for Episode 27 of Unlocking Moves, the show that dives into the pivotal moments in an entrepreneur's journey that unlocked their true potential. Many business leaders only like to talk about their success stories - but host Kurt Wilkin is a firm believer that we learn more from our stumbles and mistakes. This episode of Unlocking Moves dives into Paul Hedrick’s path -- including multiple rejections to founding and growing Tecovas, the hottest western brand in the US. From college admissions, to “friends and family” investors, and even an angry LinkedIn commentor, Paul has faced a lot of rejection and people questioning his decisions to leave a high-paying job to start a boot company. In the episode, Paul discusses turning inward to find his “Ikigai” or highest and best use, seeing opportunities where others saw certain failure, and even stepping aside as CEO. You won’t want to miss this introspective and engaging conversation!
