In this episode, I sat down with Nick Hulewsky to break down the real story behind why I walked away from a secure win and went all in on building the hardest business of my career. We covered how I bought out my partner, why outsourcing talent changed everything for me, and what it actually takes to raise money and scale a company when you're betting on yourself. I shared what most people get wrong about hiring, the pressure of managing other people’s money, and where I think AI is headed in all of this. If you're serious about building a real business, this one’s for you.
