Entrepreneurship has become a core part of my identity, but I don't ever want it to be the only thing I am...

"I had these moments of pure regret. I was working insane hours and there were times in the middle of the night where I was like, 'What have I done? Why have I traded my job for this? Yeah, it wasn't perfect, but this is definitely not perfect either.' Thankfully, I have a really amazing partner who kept me grounded. I feel more alive now that I'm doing my own thing than I ever have — mostly because I get such immense joy from the simplest freedoms, like taking my dog for a long walk around the park in the middle of a sunny day. That freedom makes me feel like I'm really living. It has such a massive impact on who I am that entrepreneurship has become a core part of my identity. I actually don't think I could do this if it wasn't, because it's hard and it is really uncertain at times. There needs to be a passion and love for it. So, it's a big part of who I consider myself to be now, but I don't ever want it to be the only thing I am. I work to live, not the only way around."
