In this episode, I sit down with Dave Teitelbaum, the Founder of Laurel Bath House, to talk about what it actually means to bet on yourself when the easy path is everywhere.

We get into the pressure to outsource and scale too early, the hidden cost of shortcuts, turning down outside money, and how building something real often requires doing the work yourself first.

Dave shares the lessons he learned the hard way: about self-trust, ownership, freedom, and choosing the long road when it would be easier not to.

This conversation is for anyone navigating growth, ambition, and the tension between moving fast and building something that actually lasts.
