It’s a bit of a paradox when you try something audacious like a startup.
I raised money, had 6 full-time employees and went hard and a year in realized it wasn’t going to work. It sucked, the stress, the grind, the failure.
That experience has left me in the same state where you realize If you can get a startup off the ground that you can actually do anything you really want to go after.
But the flip side is you also now how have a taste for how bad it can go (if it failed) and now I find I can’t take a step towards anything without that fear.
