Brian sits down with Dillon McGough for an honest conversation about entrepreneurial failure, fatherhood, marriage, and the lessons that come from getting knocked down.
Dillon opens up about a difficult business partnership, the hit it took on his confidence, and why burying your head in the sand can quietly affect every part of your life—including your family. The conversation also dives into becoming a new dad, navigating marriage under pressure, learning from struggle, and why some of life’s hardest seasons end up shaping who you become.
If you’ve ever felt like you were carrying a lot, questioning yourself, or learning how to keep moving after a setback, this episode will resonate.
