Good People, 

Today, Mike Budden joins us to talk about the hardships of the entrepreneurial journey and the advantages of seeing every situation in life, mistakes included - as a possibility to learn. Mike is a Lead Physician Assistant, a healthcare entrepreneur, investor, and founder of the Concierge Membership Service - CureRated. 

Mike's truth was the realization that he cannot control people's actions. As a healthcare specialist, he knew he could influence patients to make the right health choices, but the final decision was always not his. Embracing that truth removed massive stress out of Mike's life. 

Our conversation revolved around Mike's work ethic, and how working as a door manager at the hottest NYC nightclubs, put him in touch with a different perspectives on making money. We also delve into Mike's relationship with entrepreneurship; we analyze the healthcare system through the lens of hospitality, his decision to become an entrepreneur, the powerful lessons that failed entrepreneurial endeavors can teach, and the two choices we have after every defeat in life.
