Rejection is part of the founder journey, but how you handle it makes all the difference. In this episode of Founder Life: Where Dreams Meet Reality, I share my experience of receiving a tough "no" from Northwestern’s pitch competition—after weeks of preparation and anticipation.

💡 What you’ll hear in this episode:

The moment I realized The Qube didn’t make the cut and how it felt

Why I give myself 24 hours to sit with rejection before moving forward

The next steps for The Qube, including a new app model and a refined business strategy

Why I remain committed to this journey, despite the setbacks

No’s are inevitable, but they don’t define the dream. Tune in as I navigate this moment, regroup, and get back to building. Let’s keep going, family! 💪🏾🎧
