About this listen

2025 was the hardest year of my life - even though it also included the happiest day I’ve ever had.


In this episode, I reflect honestly on everything that went wrong this year: hiring mistakes, online abuse, scams, racism and sexism, reputational damage, physical attacks, and ultimately the loss of my brother. I use these experiences not to trauma-dump, but to step back and question what we, as founders, spend our time stressing about.


This episode explores how easily we mistake urgency for importance, how much energy we waste worrying about things that don’t really matter, and how entrepreneurship often pushes us to sacrifice time, health and family for a future that isn’t guaranteed.


It’s a raw, reflective close to 2025 - and a reminder that success shouldn’t come at the cost of your life. Going into 2026, my focus is clear: helping founders build small teams, real profits, less stress, and more time for the people who actually matter.
