Building a business sounds romantic until the whole thing starts asking more from you than you knew how to give.
This episode gets into the side of entrepreneurship people usually clean up before they talk about it: the crashes, the rebuilds, the hard conversations, the control issues, and the uncomfortable shift from being the person who does everything to becoming someone who can actually lead.
Debra brings a sharp, grounded perspective on what it takes to grow a business without letting it become a house of cards. We talk about mentorship, systems, family businesses, difficult conversations, 90-day planning, and the reality that passion can only carry you so far before structure has to take over.
For founders, leaders, and anyone trying to build something that lasts, this one hits close.
