Lena: Hey everyone, welcome to another personalized podcast from BeFreed-I'm genuinely excited about today's conversation because we're diving into something so many founders struggle with but rarely talk about openly.
Eli: Absolutely, Lena! And I have to say, this topic hits close to home for a lot of us. We're exploring how to let go of that crushing pressure of equating your self-worth with your company's performance, and honestly? There's something deeply liberating about zooming out to see the cosmic perspective on all this.
Lena: Right, exactly. It's like we get so caught up in the day-to-day wins and losses that we forget there's this whole universe out there that-spoiler alert-doesn't actually care about our quarterly numbers.
