Carl Gould is an incredible long-time BA Advisor with a deep understanding of what it means to be an entrepreneur. In this clip from the BA Podcast, Carl and Mike C-Roc talk about the power of having a community of entrepreneurs around you who can understand what you're going through and help you excel through it.

“Entrepreneurship can be a little lonely. You’re working 60, 70 hours a week because you love what you do, but unless you’re embedded with other entrepreneurs, people just don't understand.” Being an entrepreneur can be tough because so few people understand what you're really going through and the pressure to always be the decision maker. In this clip from the BA Podcast, David Darnell discusses why finding your "tribe" is the most critical move for a long-term founder. The power in the BA Community is in all of the founders that you're able to surround yourself with—putting yourself in a room with like-minded people who understand your struggles. When you get in the right room, anything is possible. Don't just build a business—build a network that understands the cost of greatness. The full podcast with David Darnell & @JimmyLRalph is COMING SOON on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music & more!

🎙️ NEW PODCAST DROP — How to Hire Better & Faster | David Darnell & @JimmyLRalph | BA EP 156 “The costs of hiring are high, but the cost of the wrong hire is even higher.

With over 12 years of experience in the world's largest talent firms, David has cracked the code on scaling elite teams in manufacturing, construction, healthcare, and high-level sales.
