How far are you really willing to go to make your vision work? In this episode, I share what it actually looks like to keep a startup alive between fundraising rounds, why timing matters when raising capital, and why true founders are willing to do things most people wouldn't. I also share the example of Elon Musk risking everything after selling PayPal to build Tesla and SpaceX. Get ready to hear the side of entrepreneurship most founders don't talk about. HIGHLIGHTS The question every founder must answer about their mission. Why I sold my Ferrari and a one-of-one Porsche 911 Turbo S. What most people misunderstand about successful startups. What Elon Musk risked after selling PayPal. Why raising capital at the wrong time can cost you millions in valuation. The mindset shift that separates committed founders from casual entrepreneurs.
