In this bonus episode of High Five Hot Mess Podcast, Lisa and Sherif Said get real about what it actually looks like when everything starts going wrong… at the same time.

This isn’t a highlight reel.

This is the part no one talks about — the setbacks, the financial stress, the unexpected roadblocks, and the moments where quitting would be easier.

From buying a struggling restaurant that turned into three, to losing locations, permits, shutdowns, and even a full restaurant flood — this is what building something really looks like when everything feels like it’s working against you.

So how do you keep going?

That’s what this episode answers.
