In this episode, I’m fired up to have a real, raw Q&A with a group of sharp, young entrepreneurs as part of my 2024 Summer Residency. And let me tell you—we get into the stuff no one’s talking about, but absolutely should be. Why is nobody telling young entrepreneurs that patience is the key? It’s because no one wants to hear it. But if you’re truly ambitious, you’ve got to fall in love with patience. The problem? So many of you are obsessed with looking successful instead of being successful, and that’s holding you back big time.
We also hit on something huge—judgment. Most of you are stuck worrying about what your parents, friends, or social media think, but here’s the truth: nobody cares as much as you think they do. And when you get that, you’re free to start living for yourself, not for anyone else.
I dive into why your 20s are the time to take massive risks—this is the decade when you can afford to fail and figure out who you really are. You need to stop beating yourself up for not having it all figured out by 22. I’m telling you, if you’re 22 right now, you’re a baby. You have all the time in the world, so don’t get caught up in trying to look like you’ve made it before you’ve actually done anything meaningful.
Listen, this episode is full of the hard truths and big-picture perspective you need to hear right now. Stop worrying about what everyone else thinks, take the pressure off, and focus on doing you. The world sells fear every day—don’t buy into it.
Let’s go, this is a big one!
