At a conference yesterday, a couple of speakers mentioned the extreme stress, constant fear of failure, blatant lack of self-care, loss of relationships and serious depression many entrepreneurs face. Does that sound like something anyone would want to sign up for? Are we celebrating a culture that prides itself on sacrificing these things for the sake of business success? And is there a better way? Of course there is. I even wrote a book about it. And I'll talk about how we can make sure 'entrepreneur' doesn't become a dirty word on today's show.

I had the best day ever at my Founding Moms of Metro Detroit Meetup yesterday.

I'll explain why and how you can benefit from being part of a tribe yourself on today's episode.
