In the ever-changing entrepreneurship landscape, we often encounter challenging times that put our resilience to the test. One of the fundamental challenges is the sense of control entrepreneurs often struggle to maintain during difficult times.  This loss of control can inadvertently lead to heightened anxiety and stress, making it all the more vital to cultivate strategies for effective coping. My guest this week offers valuable perspectives on how entrepreneurs can navigate hurdles with strength, self-awareness, and support. I loved chatting with my good friend Ernesto Segismundo again on the podcast . A few of his many professional identities, Ernesto is an entrepreneur, psychotherapist, group practice owner, and property investor. Passionate about helping mental health professionals, he's inspired many to think and act as creative and innovate change agents.

The lack of control emerges as a central theme as the duo reflects on the unsettling reality of relinquishing authority during difficult times. In a world where entrepreneurs thrive on decision-making and action, this loss of control can trigger anxiety and stress, further complicating the journey through adversity.
