    What's truly at stake when you're fighting to keep a business on life support? Join us as I share a Sunday drive to the studio, a time typically spent planning for the week and finding a little joy in the Minnesota Vikings radio broadcasts. Yet, amidst the familiar routines, the weight of running a struggling business looms large. Conversations with my unwaveringly supportive wife offer a poignant reflection on the ethical responsibilities and the emotional turmoil of feeding hope in uncertain times. Together, we navigate the storm of keeping doors open when the odds seem stacked against us, and ponder the unjust blame similar to a failed rescue from an unavoidable shark attack.

    In this heartfelt episode, we explore what it truly means to put in the sweat equity, even when success isn't guaranteed. Like athletes who pour their all into a game with no promise of playoffs, the commitment to do right by our team and community remains steadfast. Listen as I reconcile the guilt of unmet expectations with the moral satisfaction of knowing we did our best. And for fellow entrepreneurs, I sprinkle in a practical tip about choosing an efficient printer—a light-hearted close to an episode filled with raw honesty and determination.
