Summary

In today’s episode, I was inspired by the awesome dudes over at the Tropical MBA Podcast to share some more PERSONAL things going on in my life. We’re talking about what it feels like to be a founder.

I think a lot of times people look at my Twitter (@NoahKagan) or YouTube channel, or even AppSumo’s website, and think that everything’s going AMAZING.

But the truth is…

There have been some challenging things going on lately over at AppSumo.

If you’ve ever wanted to learn about what’s going on in my life and with AppSumo, you’ll love this episode.

In this conversation, you’ll enjoy 3 BIG things:

  • What people THINK being a founder is like…
  • vs. the reality of what it’s ACTUALLY like
  • Plus, 2 big things that can help all you founders out there when things aren’t going to plan

Enjoy those 3 things… plus a bunch more ear nuggets along the way.
