I'm typically affected most by the actions of third parties, a consequence I willingly accepted when I signed up for this journey. The toll includes stress, late nights, and early mornings, but what truly concerns me is the disappointment from individuals I've invested in or relied upon who don't follow through. While I don't expect lifelong commitment, certain responsibilities are crucial. My current focus is on my own well-being, resilience, and the need to decompress. I make time for myself by working out in the mornings, washing my convertible on Sundays, and indulging in my passion for classic pinball machines. Most importantly, I've learned not to be too hard on myself. "Balancing Commitments and Self-Care" Growth Advice For Entrepreneurs w/ Richard Blank

The Inventive Founder podcast created by Miller IP. The "Just Not Take It Personal" business technique from Richard Blank

The "Inventive Founder" podcast is a riveting series that explores the founding journeys of startup visionaries and small business pioneers. Each episode features intimate conversations with founders who recount their experiences from the initial spark of an idea to the realization of their entrepreneurial dreams. Listeners will hear about the hurdles, triumphs, and lessons learned along the way, providing inspiration and practical insights for anyone looking to embark on their own business venture. "Inventive Founder" is the go-to podcast for stories of innovation, resilience, and the spirit

Just not take it personal. I think the first time I experienced my first agent leaving me after investing so much time in them, it crushed me. But then the philosophy of 'me today, you tomorrow' kicked in. I'm not still at the first job I had back in Philadelphia working on Delaware Avenue. No, I'm not there anymore. People go through different stages, and they can move forward. And this is what I do know: if I fulfilled my obligation to them by respecting them, giving them stable employment, and investing in them, the outcome is okay with me because I just don't know, what's happening in their personal lives. There could be something that's influencing their decision that they're not telling me about.
