I didn’t spend nearly $10,000 on a one-day AI workshop in New York because I needed more information. I went because I was tired of something most entrepreneurs quietly struggle with: knowing a lot, but not moving fast enough on any of it .

In this episode, I'm diving into o...

In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on something I think a lot of entrepreneurs are silently struggling with right now: burnout that doesn’t come from lack of ambition… but from lack of infrastructure.
