441. It's Supposed to Hurt Like Hell

Brian Gubernick
About this episode

Brian Gubernick explores the story behind ultra-marathoner Dean Karnazes' famous quote: "It's supposed to hurt like hell." Brian discusses the similarities between the grueling endurance of a 100-mile race and the challenges of building a business including the importance of grit, persistence, and how to reframe pain as a sign of growth rather than failure.
