We all go through the “Start-Up Phase”. Those in business know this as the phase where every day feels like too much work and not enough money.

In life, there are plenty of periods that feel the same exact way as bill are due, rent is coming up, and “real life” hits all at once.

We dive into what that’s like for those in their 20s as we have made some major changes for The Uncommons as a business and our own personal lives.

The Start-Up Phase can be incredibly challenging but unbelievably rewarding at the same time. You have to attack each day with relentless optimism because at the end of the day… what’s the alternative?

We jump down the rabbit hole in this episode as we talk about how every single person has their own perspective and opinions to lead their life.

All things are subjective to the person experiencing life.

Give this one a listen and challenge yourself to answer some of the questions we ask.
