The problem with chasing the “visionary founder” myth
Description
This episode of The Art of Entrepreneurship is for anyone who’s been told they need to be a “visionary founder”—but knows execution is where the real work happens.
Today I'm talking about why being visionary without execution is wasted potential, the unsexy truth of entrepreneurship, and the habits that keep founders chasing shiny new things instead of finishing what they start.
Tune in to learn how to shrink your vision into daily actions, build accountability rhythms, and measure progress—not motion—so you can actually deliver on your ideas.
