What happens when the business grows faster than the foundation underneath it?
On this episode of The Average Sucks Show, Michael Bernoff sits down with longtime friend and entrepreneur Justin Colby for a conversation about the side of entrepreneurship most people don’t see.
Justin has spent years building businesses, investing in real estate, creating communities for entrepreneurs, and developing what he calls the Entrepreneurial DNA. But some of his biggest lessons didn’t come from winning. They came from the storms he didn’t see coming.
Michael and Justin talk about why entrepreneurs need to build deep before they build up, what happens when growth outruns your foundation, how failure can expose what needs to change, and why vulnerability may actually create more opportunity than pretending everything is perfect.
They also get into leadership, business growth, sacrifice, relationships, investing, and one of the most important questions an entrepreneur can ask:
Who do you need to become to create the life and business you actually want?
Because what got you here won’t necessarily get you there.
If you’re building a business, growing one, scaling one, or simply trying to become a better version of yourself, this conversation is for you.
