A lot of entrepreneurs out there will relate with Jesse’s story. Stories like these inspire us to keep going, even when failure is imminent. In every entrepreneur’s story, there is a point of no return. For some it happens quickly and for others it might not happen until the end of their business journey telling them to be done. A point of no return can happen in times of financial difficulty or a wide variety of struggles and problems. It’s important to learn from those who have gone through this journey already, which is why in today’s episode I interview my friend, Jesse Randall. If there’s anybody who knows what it’s like to fail and get back up, it’s Jesse. He tells about his earlier business ventures and the harder parts of them, and then how he was eventually able to learn from his mistakes and get his current venture, Sweater, to where it is now.

“You wonder why that ball goes in the net at the end and you don’t realize what’s going on until you step off the field and you go up in the stands and you look down, and you can see a scoreboard now, and then you figure it out. It was like I was missing all that context about what it would take to raise money and what was required. In retrospect I shouldn’t have been raising money, that’s one of the big “Aha’s” that I had, and one of the biggest components of what I screwed up on was being able to take care of myself, and that’s why I failed.” 7:47
