Episode notes

You might expect my favorite interviews to be with Richard Branson, Tony Robbins, or Barbara Corcoran. But one that surprised me — and stuck with me more than most — was with Scooter Braun.

In this episode, I share the lessons Scooter taught me about resilience, humility, and the real human side of entrepreneurship.

From his honesty about burnout and blind spots, to Jeff Bezos’ reminder that true success is simply about evolving, this conversation hit me harder than most.

Here’s what you’ll take away:
• Why resilience and self-reflection matter more than achievements
• The trap of chasing milestones instead of being present
• Why building a family and community beats building an empire

If you’ve ever felt the pressure to keep proving yourself, this episode will remind you that success isn’t just about what you build — it’s about who you become along the way.

This is a brand new solo series I’m testing, and I’d love your feedback. Email me directly at nathan@foundr.com — I read every reply. Hope you enjoy it.
