    Why Every Entrepreneur Needs Bad Days | Ep. 16

    In this episode, hosts Zain Rao and Yatharth Sejpal dive into what it’s like to build momentum, face burnout, and stay grounded while launching new projects — including bringing The POV Show to Spotify. The conversation starts with production talk — banners, jingles, and how shows like The Joe Rogan Experience and Diary of a CEO set the standard for modern podcasts — and evolves into a deeper reflection on entrepreneurship, patience, and self-awareness. In this episode: The process of launching The POV Show on Spotify Lessons from Joe Rogan, Diary of a CEO, and Modern Wisdom Why most people misunderstand success and consistency Balancing multiple projects: Speakers Media, client work, and events The importance of legal structure, hiring, and delegation VC funding vs. bootstrapping — why saying “no” can be a power move How to deal with burnout and slow days Roger Federer’s 51% rule: why small wins compound into greatness Journaling, emotional tracking, and building self-awareness Why self-confidence, not funding, is every entrepreneur’s biggest challenge This episode captures what life as a creator and founder really looks like — long hours, constant learning, and the humility to keep showing up, even when it’s not glamorous.
