How Self-Doubt Became the Foundation of His Success (Ep. 11 Re-Release)

Every entrepreneur has a moment when they wonder if they're going to make it.

For Brian Childers, it was staring at payroll on Wednesday... with no idea how he'd pay his employees on Friday.

He shares what got him through that moment, what he learned from building and selling his business, and why discipline—not motivation—is what keeps you moving forward.

What is Grit Mindset with Matt Rosen?

The Grit Mindset is where the people who already broke tell the real version. CEOs whose playbooks died. Green Berets and pro athletes who lost the identity they built everything on. Founders and fund managers who watched the money disappear. Not the LinkedIn version — the specific day it ended, the unglamorous middle, and what the rebuild actually cost.

Hosted by Matt Rosen — CEO of Allata and national media commentator on AI and leadership — every episode follows the story through four acts: who they were before, the break, the rebuild, and the bill.

If you're leading through the next five years, these are the people to learn from. Stay gritty.
