    Apr 9 2025

    Learn from expensive mistakes before making them: https://www.firststepentrepreneur.com/?utm_source=Wi2EDF3b3jY

  • I Had a Billion Dollar Business (and blew it)
    Mar 20 2025

    Want to hear about real failure? Buckle up: https://www.firststepentrepreneur.com/?utm_source=IdFbobpPuFo

    In my 20s, I made decisions that cost me billions - literally.

    I could have been Facebook. Instead, I'm one of the names nobody knows because we failed spectacularly. This isn't a pity party; it's proof that massive failure and massive success often look identical in the moment, and why your current struggles might be leading somewhere bigger than you realize.
