Dealing with grief is hard enough. But going through it when you have to take responsibility for the running of a business could not be harder.

Today, we have Matt Mittman, a real estate business owner with over 20 years of experience, shares his heart-wrenching story of losing his 20-month-old son, Julian, and how he managed to navigate his grief while keeping his business afloat during the pandemic.

He discusses the importance of seeking help, building resilience, and finding support in unexpected places. In addition to the resources that helped him, he also shares the mindset makeup that made going back to run his business easier.

If you are experiencing grief right now, I hope that this episode reassures you that you are not alone.
