The Importance of Betting on Yourself (and your gut)

Are you a delusional optimist? Well I'm reformed and so is my guest Justin Crawford. You can miss us with the busy schedules, 2 hours of sleep, and anxiety-filled burn out culture.

Anyhoo...Justin and I get into some real talk about personal growth, self-discovery, and the wild ride of entrepreneurship. Justin is in a new phase in life! We chat about the importance of living authentically, trusting your gut, and making meaningful connections (because let’s be real, surface-level friendships just don’t cut it anymore).

Listen til the end because Justin drops some wisdom on the need for joy and actual face-to-face interactions—yes, those still exist — and some solid advice for anyone thinking about diving into the entrepreneurial world.
