Episode notes

Last summer, you woke up feeling hollow, and life sort of lost its meaning. Can you talk to me about that and what was happening? Yes. So i'd had this very strange last couple of years where, ah, you know, coved i hadn't really talked about what i did. And i ended up going down a total rabbit hole where i was a becoming like an influencer.

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.
