Fifteen Minute Fridays episode #65 Ilana Golan.

Most entrepreneurs strive for success, but the pursuit of perfection often holds them back. When we overanalyze and wait for ideal conditions, we fail to take action, miss opportunities, and delay progress toward achieving our goals.

In this episode, Ben Albert sits down with Ilana Golan, the founder and CEO of Leap Academy and a well-known Silicon Valley growth strategist. Ilana emphasizes the importance of being an action-taker as an entrepreneur, a mindset she lives by.
