## Resource

Alisa and I dug deep into what separates great founders from the rest. We talked about building stress tolerance like a muscle, hiring people who actually care, and the difference between delegation and abdication. We also got into the trap of chasing arbitrary net worth goals and why most entrepreneurs dramatically overshoot what they really need. This episode is full of real stories, honest takes, and a look at how I think about leadership, wealth, and building companies that last.
