Inspired by Brent Drever’s Rivr Notes newsletter, this episode explores the humbling story behind “My Worst Best Investment.” It’s a tale of high hopes, fast decisions, and a startup that was supposed to be the next big thing—but wasn’t. We’ll talk about what happens when you chase shortcuts, the costly lessons that come from getting it wrong, and why those missteps might just be the best investments in disguise. It’s a conversation about patience, persistence, and the power of playing the long game.

It’s a conversation about clarity, identity, and making space for dreams that reflect who you are now, not just who you were then.
