Is the era of grinding and hustling finally over for smart founders?

Jordan Gal hosts fellow entrepreneur Christian Genco in this candid conversation about the "two wolves" battling inside every founder. Genco, creator of File Inbox and seasoned bootstrapper, brings 12+ years of SaaS experience to discuss the eternal tension between "enough" wealth versus relentless growth. Both founders dig into their personal motivations, from Gal's immigrant drive to "slay the dragon" to Genco's struggle between minimalist philosophy and capitalist ambition. What drives someone to want "millions of dollars post-tax in a personal bank account"? How do you balance family life with business obsession? The conversation reveals the raw psychology behind entrepreneurial success and the frameworks top founders use to navigate major decisions.
