Episode notes

"I do this exercise every year where I asked my business coach to go help me, you know, identify blind spots," she says. "And so he can become that translation layer for me to help me become a better person based on the data I'm getting from him" She adds: "The transformation I've seen since you got involved in social media is people feel like they know you better"

Michael Girdley is an entrepreneur. He's the owner of 10+ businesses (including fireworks, software, school, and coffee chain) totaling more than $100,000,000.

And this conversation is unlike anything Michael has published publicly.

We spoke about generational differences, what it's like to raise children, why he's loving Spanish, why he lacked courage when he was younger, common mistakes people make in their 20s, replacing companies with religion, and much more.
