Today’s guest, Jed Morris, has been incredibly generous, vulnerable, and forthright about the challenges that he faced as a Searcher and CEO. In his own words, after the bankruptcy of his company, he experienced homelessness, a profound sense of shame and failure, and nearly lost his marriage. Since then, however, his courage has helped an untold number of entrepreneurs either persist through similar circumstances, or avoid them entirely. To me, Jed is somebody who demonstrates and embodies what true leadership looks like.
The point of today’s conversation is not necessarily to scare people away from taking this path, nor to suggest that Jed's outcome is necessarily likely to happen to you. Instead, what I took from this conversation is the fact that, sometimes, even the worst case scenario is still one that we can not only survive, but learn from, grow from, and share with others.
