In this episode, Dan and Mason open up about the tough lessons they’ve learned in business—from hiring missteps to failed partnerships and deals gone wrong. They talk about the value of hiring for culture, not just talent, and why having clear roles and a strong mission matters more than you think. They also share how partnerships with friends, while well-intentioned, can get messy without structure.
As the conversation unfolds, they dive into the real cost of rushing deals, ignoring red flags, and underestimating market shifts. You’ll hear honest reflections about procrastination, ego, and how easy it is to get distracted by what others are doing. Dan and Mason wrap it all by focusing on the long game—staying grounded, learning from the past, and building a business that lasts. Tune in for a relatable conversation for anyone who’s been through the ups and downs and is still focused on growing!
