With a knack for crisis management and a passion for untangling complexities, my journey behind the scenes as a strategic partner for visionary CEOs has taught me the value of transparency, which is why my mission is to elevate founders and bring forth the unfiltered truth about the real costs of entrepreneurship. In a world where social media highlights the wins, "Hard Costs" goes beyond the surface to share the untold stories of challenges, lost revenue, strategic pivots, and the roller-coaster ride that entrepreneurship truly is. By sharing my experiences and inviting some of my favorite founders as guests, every episode in this podcast is an opportunity to find solace and inspiration in the journeys of others. As the saying goes, a rising tide lifts all boats, and that's what I aspire to achieve through "Hard Costs." So, join me on this journey, share it with your fellow entrepreneurs, and let's build a community that thrives on shared knowledge and support. I can't wait to connect with you on the next episode of "Hard Costs."
