Show Notes

Building a business changes more than your work, it changes how you handle clients, how you set boundaries and who you spend time with.


In this special episode with Rasheed, host of the Entrepreneurs Stories podcast, we talk openly about the less visible side of entrepreneurship.


Here's what we cover:


  • Why building in public feels vulnerable at first
  • The challenge of setting boundaries with demanding clients
  • People, teams, delegation and the difficulty of letting go
  • How entrepreneurship changes your friendships, priorities and support system
  • Why energy matters so much
