I interview successful entrepreneurs about the darkest parts of their journeys.
Failures, setbacks, mental health struggles… the opposite of the stuff you’re bombarded with on business social media.
I went to a pretty dark place when my last business failed. I couldn’t fathom how I would ever recover.
Impostor Syndrome on steroids… I felt alone.
But surely, I thought, I’m not the first guy to strike out.
I was desperate to know what other entrepreneurs had to endure on their way to success.
How did these success stories find their way out of the place I was in?
Where was the content exploring the dark side of their journeys?
I couldn’t find it, so I decided to create it.
