Startup Island - Josh Gershon

---

In this episode, we have Josh Gershon. Back in 2015, while at a difficult crossroads in his career, Josh was faced with the same question many young twenty-somethings have, “what do I want to do with my life?” He gave himself two options — one was to travel the globe and focus on his personal, mental and spiritual development; the other was to sign up for various classes and workshops that would help him make a career jump. Feeling forced to choose between developing himself or his career, but having no way to combine the two, he came up with an idea. That idea has since changed the life of many other twenty-something entrepreneurs. Tune in to hear about what his plan was and the impact he has had in these short years.

Everyone talks about the freedoms that come from “being your own boss” but don’t really talk about how inconsistent that can be, how we trade 40 hour work weeks for 80 hour work weeks. Taking a break from being your own boss to make an impact in a company is sometimes looked at as “entrepreneurial failure” when, in reality doing this can create more entrepreneurial opportunities for the future.
