## Resource

What does it actually look like to bet on yourself? In this episode, I’m sitting down with entrepreneur Andrew Marino — founder of Royal Guard Co, sales leader, investor, and someone who has intentionally built a life that doesn’t follow a straight line. From working in corporate tech and closing millions in revenue, to launching his own all-natural personal care brand, to moving across cities, to even appearing on Hulu’s Are You My First , Andrew has consistently chosen growth over comfort. But this conversation isn’t about résumé highlights. It’s about the pivots. We talk about evolving in your 20s and 30s, outgrowing old versions of yourself, the hidden costs of ambition, dating while you’re still becoming, and how to know when it’s time to change direction. Andrew shares what it means to build a life on your own terms — and why the unconventional path often teaches you the most about who you really are. If you’ve ever felt behind, stuck, or unsure whether you’re allowed to change your mind… this episode is your permission. You don’t have to have it all figured out. You just have to be willing to bet on yourself.
