Episode Synopsis

Welcome to Founder Fires.  I'm Iggy Odighizuwa, and this show is about one thing: Hard now, easy later.  Everybody wants the wins, the freedom, the highlight, but few are willing to face the hard work that actually creates those results. Here, I break down what "hard" really means. Because most of the time, what we call hard isn't hard at all; it's just sloppy decisions, bad systems, or a fear of doing what needs to be done.  Real hard is fighting for your life with malaria, almost getting kidnapped in a foreign country, or walking through dangerous streets at midnight just to make it home alive. I've lived that.  And I can tell you this…. business hard is nothing compared to survival hard. That's why I push you to face the real constraints in your business now instead of putting them off.  Because if you choose the hard now, you get the easy later. The pain will pass, but the beauty you build out of it will remain. 🔥 If you're serious about building something that lasts, tune in, get uncomfortable, and let's do the hard now. Watch the full episode now and don't forget to stay tuned to Founder Fires for more raw, unfiltered conversations about business, leadership, and life. 👉▶️ https://youtu.be/XodGN4-wSVs
