I open up about my struggles with imposter syndrome, financial missteps, and the importance of respecting the process in building a successful venture. From hiring mistakes and investment regrets to launch failures and overcoming crises, I share the critical lessons I learned. We also discuss marketing strategies, team operations, and the importance of genuine mentorship.
