What Nobody Tells You About Doing It All

I've spent almost two years talking to you about business strategy, hiring, marketing, and systems, and I realized I've never really let you into my actual life. So that's what this episode is. The last six months have been a lot: recovering from a fractured skull and partial hearing loss, building a tattoo-themed Airbnb from the ground up (mostly by myself, because I'm a control freak and I own it), hiring three new artists, quitting caffeine after six years, navigating anxiety I didn't know I had, and finally hitting a wall that made me stop and ask what I'm actually doing this for. I'm not sharing this for sympathy. I'm sharing it because I think a lot of you are running the same race I've been running, and maybe hearing someone else say "I had to slow down and it didn't all fall apart" is exactly what you need right now.
