In this candid solo episode, Bridger Pennington pulls back the curtain on what entrepreneurship looks like when a founder is juggling six simultaneous fronts—employees, customers, investors, banks, regulators, and family—while sometimes going months without a personal paycheck. Bridger explores:

Day-zero uncertainty versus 100-hour weeks: why the unknown is tougher than the grind and how “ignorance debt” means failure never truly resets anyone to zero.
Success shockwaves at home: the uncomfortable truth behind friends and relatives saying, “You’ve changed,” and why that reaction is normal for entrepreneurs.
The eat-last mentality: how leaders keep everyone else paid first and still show up with energy and conviction.
The spiral-staircase effect: fighting the same battles at ever-higher stakes because personal growth always precedes business growth.
Starting before life gets crowded: AI and low start-up costs have removed most excuses—waiting only makes the leap harder.
