ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗
It is difficult to choose the entrepreneurial and risk-taking path. I made that decision, and after a lot of mistakes, I eventually found a balanced life that resulted in more time with family, friends, and the community. This podcast will focus on the lessons and experiences of successful (and sometimes not-so-successful) entrepreneurs and rule-breakers who have endured along their journeys and found positive outcomes—whose efforts were the result of deliberate approaches, not those of starry-eyed 'unicorns,' but rather committed, determined company builders and visionaries.

Intro: One challenge in growing a company, especially as a
first-time entrepreneur, is answering the question, “Am I the right person for the CEO job at this time?” I’d say that in the VC world, there’s a bias toward having a founder continue in the capacity of CEO. But what if that founder isn’t g…
