This is part 1 of a two-part episode, come back next week for part 2.

I sat down with Shannon Jean to talk about the mindset shifts that actually matter when you’re getting into entrepreneurship. We talked about why problem-solving is the real job, how fear can be fuel, and why small experiments lead to big wins. We also got into building confidence, staying scrappy, and the underrated power of just changing something when you feel stuck. If you’re thinking about taking the leap, this one will give you the push you need.
