Proven Strategies For Overcoming The Demons Of Entrepreneurship | Midnight Founders Podcast

In this episode, we sat down with Devon Millington, a serial entrepreneur who has founded many companies, most in the home and community-based services industry (HCBS). His companies include RHE, QVR, and now Unify HCBS. Devon shares his unique insights into the emotional side of entrepreneurship and how he has found wholeness and well-being through the painful process it takes to build a startup. He shares about the ups and downs, and the lessons he has learned to personally overcome his own entrepreneurial fear and demons. If you're a new founder, this episode has plenty of great insights for you. The Midnight Founders Podcast is focused on telling the behind-the-scenes stories for what makes a successful entrepreneur. Just like Donavan Mitchell spends countless hours practicing step back jumpers to become a master at his craft. You are in the trenches spending countless hours to become a master at your business. We are inspired by this, we believe that is what it takes to be a midnight founder, and we want to share your story. Our podcast is casual, every conversation is different, so we like to take the conversation wherever it leads. As such, we don’t really follow a script, but we really want to know who you are as a founder, and what makes you tick? We also want to know what keeps you up at night, what are the problems you are currently trying to solve? As entrepreneurs we know that there are challenging times where you don’t have anyone to fall back on to meet the deadline or finish the task, all the weight is on your shoulders. One question we ask every guest that we want you to think about is: What is the gnarliest experience you have had as an entrepreneur? Hosts: A.J.
