Listen "Resilience, Recovery, and the Realities of Entrepreneurship with Peter Mols"
Episode Synopsis
Failure is never fun in the moment, but what if it could be the thing that makes you stronger? In this episode, I sit down with Peter Mols to talk honestly about the brutal lessons of failure, the pain of losing it all, and the resilience that comes from getting back up. We explore how focus, vulnerability, and simple daily habits can transform setbacks into fuel for growth.Peter shares the raw story of building a business too young, too fast, and how it led him into depression before he found his way back. We talk about why resilience matters more than perfection, why failure isn’t the end unless you quit, and how leadership really starts with leading yourself. This is an inspiring, no-fluff conversation that will leave you thinking differently about what it means to fall and rise again.
