This episode is personal. I take you back to a defining moment in my career—when I thought I was on track to become a partner after years of dedication… only to be told it wasn’t enough. What followed were two conversations that changed everything: One that helped me understand the value of my time And another that forced me to make a decision A close friend told me something I’ll never forget: If we’re still having this conversation months from now… it’s a hobby.
