The Emotional Gauntlet of Taking a Chance
"Fail fast" is easy to say. But what about the emotional whiplash that comes after? The journey from being called naive or ignorant, to being seen as a joke, to being labeled arrogant or delusional is the real test every innovator faces.
In this episode, we pull back the curtain on the intense human side of entrepreneurship. We explore the silent costs of taking a chance—the ridicule, the pressure, the attacks on your conviction—and provide a practical toolkit for building the resilience you need to persevere.
Learn how to shield your mindset, protect your "why," and navigate the backlash until your work speaks for itself. Listen now and fortify yourself for the journey ahead.
