I had to make a decision that wrecked me. We spent 8 months building a product. $420K in revenue on the line. The team was hyped. We needed the cash.  However, I discovered that the partner we were integrating with was not being transparent. Unethical.  And I had to choose—look the other way and secure the bag, or stand on what we believe and pull the plug. I pulled the plug. Five people lost their jobs. I lost sleep. I questioned everything. But I knew I could live with that.  What I couldn't live with was selling out who we are just to survive. Nobody talks about this side of the game. The pressure. The silence. The weight.  People show the wins, the exits, the speaking gigs—but this right here is what actually separates real founders from the ones chasing clout. And if you're trying to build something that lasts, God's gonna test you.  Test your perseverance. Test your sacrifice. Test your willingness to do what's right when it costs the most. That's what this episode is about. If you're in that season, this one's for you. I don't hold back. I discuss the decisions that nearly broke me, the money I walked away from, and the faith that kept me grounded when everything felt like it was falling apart.
