Author: Andrew Youderian | e-Commerce Entrepreneur October 10, 2025 Duration: 26:28

Ever feel like life keeps throwing curveballs just when you think you're caught up? In this solo episode, I reflect on the emotional aftermath of ECF Live in Bozeman and share how I'm wrestling with priorities in a world that never seems to slow down.

Listen in as I explore how to triage time as a founder, walk through the five core responsibilities of a CEO, and open up about scheduling challenges, mental load, and the tension between aspiration and reality. From honest reflections on burnout to practical tips for intentional planning, this is a vulnerable, tactical look at what it means to lead with clarity, even when life gets chaotic.
