This is Part 2, a follow-up to the previous episode "Turning Delayed Dreams Into Reality". 
Paul Goldsmith shares his ongoing challenge of opening a Saladworks restaurant in Spring Hill, Tennessee. Despite signing an agreement over two years ago, he has faced numerous setbacks including construction delays, disputes between contractors and the building owner, and the cable company cutting off his internet.
Paul emphasizes the importance of perseverance, having alternative income sources anytime you launch something new, and learning from failure. Drawing inspiration from Arnold Schwarzenegger's approach to facing adversity, Paul encourages entrepreneurs to commit to Plan A as if there were no Plan B. 

ROI is over-rated.
The most important success metric for businesses and nonprofits is not one most organizations currently measure: ROR or Return on Relationships.
Everyone knows relationships are important. Why don't businesses measure them like they do other metrics like ROI or CAC?
In this episode, Paul shares his insights, as an entrepreneur, how he learned this hard way. He assumed people cared most about results and has since learned, that results are secondary. Relationships are the key to long-term growth as an entrepreneur, business, or nonprofit leader.

Paul Goldsmith chats with entrepreneur Bethany McVay. Bethany shares her entrepreneurial journey, emphasizing the importance of community, mental health, and empowerment in achieving personal and professional success.

The discussion also touches on the broader impacts of fitness on life, the value of support systems, and maintaining balance and focus in pursuit of one's goals.

I'm planning to live to 120.

"Some people die at 25 and aren't buried until they are 75." Benjamin Franklin

Paul Goldsmith shares his thoughts on how to find joy in your daily duty, accept what comes, and do your best.
He leans heavily on Viktor Frankl's "Yes To Life: In Spite of Everything".
I slept and dreamt
that life was joy.

that life was duty.
I worked — and behold,
duty was joy. - Tagore
