Lessons from 40+ Years of Entrepreneurship | Ilana Golan

O epizodÄ› podcastu
🔥 In this episode of The GaryVee Audio Experience , I sit down with Ilana Golan, host of the Leap Academy podcast for a deep dive into the journey of entrepreneurship, personal branding, and the mindset it takes to win.
💡 I get real about my early days—selling baseball cards, working for $2 an hour in my dad’s liquor store, and building a $60M business before striking out on my own. We also cover why personal branding is non-negotiable in today’s world and how fear is the #1 killer of dreams.
🔑 We talk about:
- 🚀 The immigrant hustle —why I had no choice but to be an entrepreneur
- đź’ˇ Personal branding = career insurance (you NEED to build yours)
- 🔥 Fear vs. optimism —which one are you choosing?
- 💰 Why making millions won’t guarantee happiness (but purpose will)
- 🎯 The biggest mistakes people make in career decisions
- ⏳ How to avoid regret & take control of your future
This episode is a must-listen for entrepreneurs, professionals, and anyone looking to break free from limitations. If you’re playing it safe, it’s time to change the game. 🎧🚀
