  • If you can’t apologize, you’re not a leader
    Oct 27 2026

    This episode of The Art of Entrepreneurship is for founders who have the strategy down but still get defensive when feedback gets personal. In the final episode of my lessons to live by series, I’m covering the skills that have nothing to do with strategy: real accountability, getting neutral, apologizing without a “but” and actually receiving feedback. Because if people stop telling you things, you end up flying blind while feeling extremely well informed.

    Tune in if you’re ready to look at yourself honestly, even when it’s not fun.

  • Intention and perception (you own both)
    Oct 20 2026

    This episode of The Art of Entrepreneurship is for founders and leaders whose good intentions keep landing the wrong way with their team. In part seven of my lessons to live by series, I explain why we judge ourselves by our reasons and everyone else by their behavior, and why your intentions buy you nothing if the other person experienced something different. Owning the gap between what you meant and how it consistently lands is what separates good intentions from good leadership.

    Tune in if you’re ready to stop defending what you meant and start owning how it lands.

  • Not striving to be humble
    Oct 13 2026

    This episode of The Art of Entrepreneurship is for founders who downplay their wins and talk themselves out of asking for what they’re worth. In part six of my lessons to live by series, I argue that nobody rewards you for staying quiet about what you’ve built. The way you talk to yourself in private decides what you’re able to ask for in public.

    Tune in if you’re ready to stop being the last person in the room to notice what you’re good at.

  • 90% and done beats 100% and perfect
    Oct 6 2026

    This episode of The Art of Entrepreneurship is for founders whose perfectionism keeps good work from ever shipping. Perfectionism is procrastination that feels like hard work, and nobody notices that last 5% of changes except you. The real gains come from testing, iterating and getting in the reps.

    Tune in if you're ready to ship at 90% and let real data do the rest.

  • Trust your gut, then double-check
    Sep 29 2026

    This episode of The Art of Entrepreneurship is for founders who follow their gut and want to know when it's instinct and when it's just bias. Your gut isn't magic; it's pattern recognition built from years of experience. But it can also quietly turn your research into a case for a decision you've already made, and that feels exactly like due diligence.

    Tune in if you're ready to follow your gut on the what and do the work to validate everything else.

  • Clap for others until it’s your time
    Sep 22 2026

    This episode of The Art of Entrepreneurship is for founders who catch themselves comparing their year two to someone else's year thirteen. Comparison shows up whether you feel behind or ahead, and the people who look effortlessly ahead of you are usually hiding just as much as you are. My fix isn't to stop comparing, it's a four-word mantra that lets you feel someone else's win without losing your own.

    Tune in if you're ready to trade comparison for a mantra that assumes your time is still coming.

  • If not this, then something better
    Sep 15 2026

    This episode of The Art of Entrepreneurship is for founders who need to believe a setback is making room for something better. I don't hold onto this belief because I'm an optimist; I hold onto it because I know how hard I work to make it true. That's the difference between empty positivity and a mantra that actually moves you forward. When a client leaves or a goal falls through, I ask myself one question: what would better actually look like? Then I go build it.

    Tune in if you're ready to turn your next setback into an assignment instead of a tragedy.

  • You don't get what you don't ask for
    Sep 8 2026

    This episode of The Art of Entrepreneurship is about why you have to ask for what you want—because if you don't, the answer is already no. I've used this one mantra to waive college classes, fund my MBA and negotiate raises. Tune in if you're ready to stop hoping and start asking for exactly what you want.
