Failures, setbacks, mental health struggles… the opposite of the stuff you’re bombarded with on business social media. I’m always looking for interesting guests, so DM me if you know someone who would like to share their story. www.youtube.com/@eddymikes A little about me: 10+ years of investment banking, private equity, and company building experience.
