Episode notes

You might not want to make a million dollars. And that's fine. Don't feel like a loser if you do, if you have no desire to do it. But this is just to talk to those people who are just like, I am going to be a millionaire. How quickly can you make that? I don't know. Does that mean it's easy? No. It's like, how quickly are you willing to go through those rights of passage? The emotional roller coaster of entrepreneurship is intense but on the other side of it is freedom, financial independence and impact.

But maybe that could be your journey.
