This is Scott Becker with the Becker Business Podcast and the Becker Private Equity Podcast. Today's discussion is as follows. Entrepreneurs and recovery. So one of the things that I see in entrepreneurs, and again, I often have a sample size of 1, meaning myself, but in reality I deal with lots of different entrepreneurs, lots of different leaders. And I see this difference between entrepreneurs and, and those that have stepped in to run a company once an entrepreneur has founded it. Often the person who runs the company after the entrepreneurs founded it is a much better organizational person, a much better systems person, does a much better job of managing themselves, managing their own energy. One of the things I see with entrepreneurs, and this is entrepreneurs of all stripes, is we often see this manic energy paired with then the downtime or the different challenges in trying to find the next next thing, the new, new thing. And one of the things I encourage entrepreneurs to do, constantly find that time to reflect, to recover, to take a step back. I see firsthand the struggles of that manicness in entrepreneurs. You know, not necessarily talking about myself, a friend of mine, but in reality, this constant need to go after ideas, double down on ideas, triple down on ideas, and then recover and rest. So you come to things with a clear mind and a clear way of thinking. I see in contrast, some of the great CEOs that we work with that were not founders that do this incredible job of just that balanced approach day in, day out, which in some ways is a lot healthier and a lot healthier way to be, but often doesn't create that spark of starting a company and growing an idea or growing something. So again, today's, today's concept is entrepreneurs versus CEOs recovery and restarting. Thank you for listening to the Becker Business Podcast, the Becker Private Equity Podcast.
