So, I decided to give the 21 Hats Podcast crew this week off. Between the Memorial Day holiday and our first 21 Hats in-person event the previous week in Chicago\u2014attended by five of the podcast regulars\u2014it seemed the right thing to do. It also seemed like a great opportunity to reprise one of our favorite all-time episodes. It\u2019s not a used episode; it\u2019s a certified pre-owned episode, or better yet, a greatest hits episode. We first published it in December of 2021, and it features highlights taken from the podcasts we\u2019d published up until that point that cover many of the risks and rewards of business ownership, including what it\u2019s like to sell your business, to fire an employee, to risk your own home in order to get financing, and even to deal with serious mental health issues. If you\u2019re new to the podcast, I think you\u2019ll find that these conversations bring real context to the journeys of the entrepreneurs you\u2019ve been following here. But even if you\u2019ve heard some of these discussions before, I think you\u2019ll find them a refreshing reminder that choosing to build a business can be a noble mission, but it generally doesn\u2019t come with an owner\u2019s manual. We\u2019re all figuring it out as we go.
