Why I Walked Away From The Company Mark Cuban Invested In

Seed Money

Building a company, going on Shark Tank, raising $1 million dollars and working with Mark Cuban. Sounds like an entrepreneur’s dream, right? Well, that’s what I thought, until I walked away from it. It was the hardest decision I’ve ever made, but also the best one.

When you build your own company, it becomes an extension of you, so stepping away is no easy feat. But the longer I ran the business, the more I realized it wasn’t right for me. Coming into a non-existent category was hard, but that wasn’t the only challenge I faced.

Ultimately, I discovered that my vision for entrepreneurship and my company were two different things. Though it was tough to break it to my investors and close it down, things worked out the way they were supposed to.

What was the journey I took into the business, and what were the realizations I had along the way? How did it feel to walk away from the business just before the low alcohol market exploded? What’s wrong with hustle culture? In this episode, I share why I walked away from my dream company, and important lessons any entrepreneur can take from my story.
