𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗗𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗴𝟴: 𝗪𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗶𝘁 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗯𝗲 𝗮 "𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱𝘀 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻" 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗿 𝗚𝗮𝗽 𝗼𝗻 𝗺𝘆 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗺𝗲

Ever find yourself staring into the entrepreneurial abyss, wondering, "What if my startup is the next big 'What if?'".

Yep, that's me right now, knee-deep in building #Deleg8, oscillating between unbridled optimism and the occasional, "What am I even doing?"

So, here's the million-dollar question that keeps me up at night: If this wild ride on the startup roller coaster comes to an abrupt stop, how do I explain the gap in my career to potential future employers? "Dear Hiring Manager, I spent the last few years chasing a dream. P.S. It didn't catch on."

And then there's the existential dread. Will I even want to jump back into what I was doing before? What if this journey transforms me, and I emerge on the other side no longer the professional I used to be? The horror...the horror of possibly not being good at Excel anymore. (Kidding, but am I?)

But, as they say, that's a problem for Future Me. Right now, Present Me is all in on making Deleg8 a reality. I'm channeling every ounce of energy into this venture, because the only gap I'm willing to accept is the one between "What if" and "What is."

So, as I navigate this entrepreneurial labyrinth, I invite you to join me on this journey. Let's explore the ups, the downs, and the in-betweens of startup life together. Who knows? By the end, I might just have a compelling story to fill any gap.
