Adam Schwartz (Ep. 44): Navigating fatherhood and entrepreneurship
Listen now
Description
Adam Schwartz is the co-founder and COO of TeePublic an e-commerce platform for independent creators. TeePublic is a high growth company with 50+ employees yet is completely self-funded. Is it a lifestyle business? We explore the negative connotation of the term and how it translates into constraints, profitability, and the "life" part of lifestyle. One thing's for sure, irrespective of the name, entrepreneurs have very little mindspace for anything but their companies. And therein lies some of Adam's anxiety around becoming a new father. How does one make room for a new person, when life and work are already all consuming? And consistent with the RadReads ethos, it comes down to the repeated topics of time scarcity, financial security, achievement and how this all ties into our sense of self worth. + SHOWNOTES: http://rad.family/adam-schwartz + LOOKING FOR A COACH?
