A short podcast excerpt (Mike Koenigs) where two speakers emphasize that the first step for founders is to acknowledge difficult truths—often admitting that a successful business may not be their true calling. One speaker describes having quadrupled a company yet feeling unfulfilled, while the other recounts a burnout moment (unable to get out of the car) that signaled the need for change.

Chapters

Well, the first step is acknowledge, because there is a truth that every business owner or founder needs to acknowledge in order to move forward. And it's usually something that they are either afraid to admit or afraid to share. And it's usually the biggest step that they need to take. So for us, our biggest acknowledgement was that even though we built a very successful company, we quadrupled the business. This was not us. This was not our calling. We could have stayed and we could have probably raised it and grew it even better and more. But ultimately we will not be fulfilled. Our step was our calling was something else.
And in reality, you know, I drove up to the building one day and I couldn't get out of the car. I was so burnt out doing something that really wasn't in my nature, doing a very, very heavy lift. And I felt like if I kept going, I might just this business might.
