Summary
In today’s episode, I sit down for a candid conversation about the reality of entrepreneurial freedom and why it’s far different from what most people imagine. I share lessons from losing more than $100 million, rebuilding my life, and redefining success beyond money, titles, and comparisons to people like Steve Jobs or Bill Gates. We discuss the difference between owning a business and owning a job, the importance of understanding your timing and risk tolerance, and why true freedom comes from aligning your life with your values. I also explain my daily non-negotiables, the power of sleep, faith, family, and consistent habits that create lasting progress over time.
