Gino breaks down his five-part framework for the entrepreneurs journey, from the Entrepreneurial Leap to finding peace with Shine.
Youll learn why Gino believes true entrepreneurs are born, not made , and why most of them never raise money. The discussion confronts the Dark Night of the Soul for successful leaders and offers a path to move from fear-based decisions to love-based clarity , ultimately revealing that the mountain is a myth and the whole thing is just a journey.
