In this episode, I sit down with David Simnick, CEO of Soapbox, to break down what it really takes to build and scale a company over time. We talk about why grit matters more than talent, how founders fail when they can’t take pressure, and how to build a strong team instead of trying to do everything yourself. David also shares how he evaluates entrepreneurs as an investor, the importance of humility in leadership, and how to stay focused while growing a mission-driven business in a highly competitive market.
