39) A Story Of Resilience: How I Built My First Company (& Learned To Raise Capital The Hard Way)

The true story behind my first company. This is perhaps the most vulnerable story I've ever told and one most people would never dare tell.  I share the background behind starting a fitness app, buying the biggest penthouse in Philadelphia with 4 friends, getting a huge celebrity to commit to investing $2.2 million, then watching as it all fell apart.   Hopefully, you can learn from my mistakes and take your own lessons from this crazy and totally candid story.  As a founder, you have to set your vision and stick to it.  So, if you are building a new company, or mobile app, this episode will be especially poignant.  Inside, I share my understanding of the dynamics of leverage and the importance of creating a plan that includes emotional and financial runway.  *** Listen to New Zen Business episodes every Monday - Available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Overcast & More Find me on Instagram @itsjmaxim - where you can get free Marketing, Mindset and Money tips.
