i worry that i'm going to have a sophogil cancer. I was hyperfocused on getting all the things i thought i wanted, that all the kids had. My kids will be those rich kids, and i don't know how to create in them that same kind of feeling of em of drive or hustle yet. Ah, at the end of the day, i think just need your kids seem to know that you're there and you love them. And i hope that's enough.
My guest is businessman and investor Andrew Wilkinson, who has made a successful career out of channeling his entrepreneurial spirit, but he knows that sometimes that energy can be a double-edged sword.
We discuss the lessons learned acquiring 40 companies, why he struggled to find happiness and what changed, mimetic desire, competing with venture-backed companies, hiring and firing CEOs, getting back up after million dollar mistakes, and so much more.
