    465 - Starting Over After Losing the Life You Imagined (I'm Back)
    Jul 2 2025

    As solopreneurs, so much of what we build is deeply personal. Our businesses are often born from the gaps in our own stories.

    In this solo episode, I reflect on the recent death of my father and the quiet grief that followed for the connection we never fully had. It made me confront how much of my business drive was rooted in fear and pain.

    This isn’t a business episode in the traditional sense, but it’s a human one. If you’ve ever built something to feel safe, seen, or in control, I think you’ll find something here.

    In this episode, I talk about:

    • How grief can show up as ambition, productivity, or perfectionism
    • Why many founders build strong brands from unresolved pain
    • The hidden costs of being self-reliant for too long
    • What it looks like to love someone through action, not nostalgia
    • How to keep creating when the story doesn’t end neatly

    464 - How I Reconciled My Relationship with My Father, My Past, My Pain

    Entrepreneurs and high achievers like to talk a lot about how to rewrite their life story, especially in the context of their external accomplishments.

    I've found that growth more happens in the unseen moments - the times of pain, heartache, and the decisions we face that require courage, forgiveness, and presence.

    When I got the call that my dad was dying, I knew I had to share this story—our story. This is a talk I gave at Growth Now Summit Live, and with special permission from host Justin Schenck, I’m sharing it here.

    It’s about reconciliation, grief, identity, and the raw, often ugly road to healing. Whether or not you’re navigating loss or family conflict, I hope this message invites you to reconnect—with yourself or someone else—before it’s too late.
