    Bonus Episode: What Giannis Antetokounmpo Taught Me About Running a Business

    What do a viral NBA press conference, Michael Jordan, and your bank account have in common? In this solo episode of Fence Guy Podcast, Craig steps away from the typical fencing talk to break down one of the most important mindsets any business owner can adopt . Remember back in 2023 when the number-one seed Milwaukee Bucks were knocked out of the playoffs, and a reporter asked Giannis Antetokounmpo if the season was a failure? Giannis's viral response completely flipped the script on what it means to fall short—arguing that there is no failure in sports, only steps to success . Even Michael Jordan played 15 years and "only" won 6 championships—were the other 9 years failures, or were they the foundation? Craig translates this exact sports analogy directly into the daily grind of running a business . If you didn't hit 100% of your revenue goals this year, if a job went sideways, or if you lost a bid to a competitor, does that mean you failed? Spoiler alert: No. Tune in to discover why the constant pressure you feel isn't evidence of failure—it's evidence that you care, you have high standards, and you are actively building a foundation for tomorrow . Stop letting a bad day define the empire you are trying to construct . You aren't failing; you are just in the process 📢 Connect & Support * Share the Episode: If this message hit home or you know another entrepreneur who needs to hear it, please pass it along! * Leave a Review: If you love the podcast, drop us a review on your favorite platform . * Remember: Go out there and be a good human .
