Raising capital should elevate your game. For one entrepreneur, it did the opposite.

When stakes rose, his performance tanked. Why? He didn’t anticipate the emotional cost of failing with other people’s money. This episode breaks down:

1. Why “logical prep” isn’t enough, how to plan for emotional punches.
2. The shift from external goals to internal identity that reignited his performance.
3. The real bottleneck most entrepreneurs miss: staying calm under pressure.

If you’re chasing big goals and aren’t ready for the emotional hits, you’re setting yourself up to spiral. Prepare better. Perform better. This episode shares how.
