Owning a business can feel like you're carrying the whole load by yourself. Most of us never had formal training in leadership — we learned it while doing the work, making mistakes, and figuring things out as we go. And when things get tough, it's easy to fall into the comparison trap and believe that everyone else must be doing it better.
That realization allowed me to start something new. I began talking with other business owners about the moments that shaped them: the challenges, the turning points, and the growth that followed. What I found was simple, yet powerful: we all stumble, we all doubt ourselves, and we all learn along the way.
In this episode, I share why these conversations matter, what I’ve discovered so far, and how hearing someone else’s story can shift the perspective on your own journey. If you've ever felt isolated in leadership, this is for you.
And if you have a story like that: a moment where you knew something had to change, and you came out stronger, I’d love to hear it. Let’s talk and grow together - share in the comments.
