Entrepreneurs often battle proving ourselves, defending our choices and getting others to understand our plights. Entrepreneurs are generalized but we are all very different, in this episode we discuss the purpose of identity and redefining what it means to be an entrepreneur. 

We operate two different companies in two different industries and yet we both run them remotely. Many entrepreneurs have stories about starting in their kitchen, garage or from a coffee shop, with no office in sight.

In many ways, this podcast has been therapeutic for us. It has served as a creative outlet as we navigate being entrepreneurs and has helped us express the ups and downs while on this journey.

As entrepreneurs, we have to trust our instincts. That can be a scary thing to do when you’re trying to make a living. It’s probably why we write out our business plans, look for investors or pursue a side hustle first. We need data and hard numbers to support our instincts. In this episode, we talk about using our intuition for decision making and when we have to turn to the data.
