Summary

In this episode, I get real about one of the toughest moments of my life. Over the holidays, my family faced a major crisis that derailed my plans for 2025 right out of the gate. On Christmas night, my dad stopped breathing in my arms. I'm sharing how I handled it as a son, an entrepreneur, a husband, and dad while keeping my business going. From stepping into the fire during emergencies to giving yourself permission to hit pause, I break down the strategies that helped me navigate this storm. Life doesn't stop for entrepreneurs, but with the right mindset, you can get through anything and keep business going.
