Ep 674: Rethinking Debt as a Motivator in Entrepreneurship

I share a personal anecdote about a friend seeking motivation through debt, emphasizing the pitfalls of this approach. The conversation pivots to the importance of finding motivation in service and purpose, rather than in financial leverage. I discuss my journey, from facing legal consequences at 17 to now running a successful business, highlighting the shift from ego-driven goals to service-oriented living. The episode concludes with examples of my community members achieving success through authentic, service-based approaches rather than resorting to debt.
