Summary
Braden is in the trenches — young, married, with a family, and building his second business from scratch. He left a comfortable six-figure income to chase something with no guarantees but full control. In this raw and honest conversation, Trevor sits down with him to talk about the realities of the startup grind, the emotional and financial sacrifices, and how to make strategic moves even when you’re still figuring it out.
