A founder's journey never truly ends. Sometimes, that feels like a blessing and a curse, all at once. Hearing 'no' over and over again gets old!
Today, Tim Welsh, founder of boutique consultancy Nexus Strategy, joins Stacy to talk about why the double-edged sword of foundership is more of a blessing than a curse.
While Tim’s initial journey as a founder was behind him, he raised his hand to go back to the basics to get his latest idea off the ground.
Now, "The Wealthies" serves as his example of starting over - or starting fresh - to create something great as a multi-talented founder.
