About this episode

🔥 How to Start a Business (Even If You Think You Can’t)

Starting a business? You need to hear this. In this episode, I break down the best way to start—from working for someone in your industry to making sure you actually like what you're doing. Trust me, if you're only in it for the money, you're going to quit.

We also dive into:
✅ Why procrastination is actually a sign you’re in the wrong game
✅ The REAL reason businesses fail (it’s not marketing)
✅ AI fears vs. AI opportunities (HUGE perspective shift)
✅ How I deal with burnout—and the one thing I wish for every young person
✅ Why failing in business is actually a good thing

Plus, I get real about the hustle mindset, making money young, and how to actually shift your perspective to stop feeling stuck.
