Entrepreneurship’s Toughest Test: Turning Setbacks into Success

What happens when everything you’ve carefully planned falls apart? In this episode, co-hosts Marc Bernstein and Ang Onorato turn an unexpected guest cancellation into a powerful conversation on resilience, adaptability, and the lessons that emerge from life’s disruptions. Drawing from personal experiences—including a business lost to fire, navigating health challenges while running a business, and overcoming financial hardship—they explore how setbacks often pave the way for growth and transformation.

In this episode, Marc and Ang discuss:

• The peaks and plummets of entrepreneurship and how to navigate them
• The power of vulnerability in leadership and client relationships
• Lessons from personal crises and how they shape business decisions
• Why you don’t need to be perfect—just 1% ahead to make an impact
• How to embrace uncertainty and turn setbacks into stepping stones

Whether you're an entrepreneur, business leader, or navigating personal challenges, this conversation is a reminder that resilience isn’t just about bouncing back—it’s about evolving.
