In today’s Startup Therapy Podcast, Wil and Ryan discuss founder guilt in the wake of a failed startup. While it's perfectly natural to feel disappointed when a startup fails, it's not cool to let guilt eat away at you. It's important to recognize that success in the startup world is never a guarantee and that failures are an inevitable part of the process. The key is to bounce back from setbacks and keep pushing forward, no matter how tough things get.
