In this episode, my husband Dan Press joins me to explore the differences between a small business mindset and an entrepreneurial mindset. We discuss our contrasting perspectives shaped by our backgrounds, the importance of balancing risk and emotional intelligence in business decisions, and how awareness of our upbringing has influenced our approach to business and partnership dynamics. The dialogue emphasizes the value of understanding each other's strengths and weaknesses, and how this awareness can lead to better decision-making and success in their business endeavors.
