When Brilliance and Darkness Dance Together
Andy Dunn's journey through entrepreneurship while battling bipolar disorder reads like two parallel stories constantly colliding. Unlike typical business memoirs celebrating triumph through grit, "Burn Rate" offers something far more vulnerable: the raw chronicle of building a $300 million company while wrestling with undiagnosed mental illness. What makes this story so compelling is how the very traits that drove Dunn's entrepreneurial success-boundless energy, creativity, risk-taking-were often indistinguishable from his bipolar symptoms. Imagine building a business empire while your mind oscillates between divine inspiration and crushing darkness. For the estimated 20% of entrepreneurs with some form of mental illness, Dunn's story breaks a deafening silence. His willingness to expose the unvarnished truth challenges Silicon Valley's preference for sanitized success stories. Ever wonder why we celebrate "thinking differently" in business while stigmatizing actual mental illness? This paradox sits at the heart of Dunn's powerful narrative.
