Failure Isn’t Killing You. Quitting Is.
Martin Rowinski's story starts with escaping communist Poland at nine years old, living in Italy while his family fought to get into America, and showing up to school without speaking a word of English.
In this episode, Martin joins Steve Cross to talk about resilience, entrepreneurship, surviving the 2008 mortgage crash, building and exiting businesses, personal branding, and why failure isn't the thing that kills most people: quitting is. They also dive into founding BoardSeye, executive leadership, and what it actually takes to stand out when everyone claims to be an expert.
