Our final episode of Havers, the show about how to have it all.

We never got to a concrete answer, but we got some incredible wisdom along the way.

Common themes included:

• Take care of your physical and mental health as you grow your business
• It's difficult if not impossible to build multiple things (business, relationship) simultaneously
• Having it all enhances dating for men, but can make things harder for women

We had a blast making this show, and thank you to all the guests who came on.

Thank you so much for listening, and tune in to our next show, coming next week!
