Conor shares his journey from Cal Poly to co-founding Fathers Brewing, along with the lessons that came from launching businesses, learning through failure, and continuing to evolve as an entrepreneur. We talk about persistence, staying focused when things don’t go as planned, and how long-term success is often built through consistency and commitment rather than quick wins. Conor also opens up about relaunching software products, learning from past mistakes, and the mindset shifts that helped shape both his career and personal growth. If you’re navigating a career transition, thinking about starting something of your own, or trying to figure out your next step, this episode has a lot of value packed into it. Like. Comment.
