Like many entrepreneurs, I look forward to new challenges and view them as opportunities to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It feels like a lifetime ago but last October I found out that I was going to be a first time Dad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And like many first time fathers, I \u2018thought\u2019 I had a clue what life would be like based off of interactions with those who have kids, my own \u2018experience\u2019 as a kid and gleaning what I could from books.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
(Cue the \u2018I told you crowd\u2019)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But predictably, I was wrong, I had no clue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Many things in life fail to live up to the hype but the exhaustion and survival mode were spot on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The past 5 months have been some of the hardest and yet best months of my life. Holding #babymarella<\/a> in my arms changed my life in an instant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But I feel in many ways the intersection of a global pandemic,<\/u><\/a> the crush weight of isolation and the overwhelming pressure of maintaining a service business in a #depression<\/a> created a new gear within me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This gear is learning how to scale while sleep walking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
