I have an entrepreneur friend. His name is Norbert and he’s one of the most inspiring people I’ve ever met.

I’ll share more details of his story in the podcast. The gist of it is:

He started his business with his wife, they were living the dream every day.
Then she passed away suddenly.
Through his grief, he came out on the other side with unbridled joy.

One of my favorite Norbert quotes is, “Live your dream NOW!!!”

Maybe it would be better to just keep trying to solve it on your own?

I talk about these important questions in this episode.
