You’ll hear Rufus open up about:

- The internal battles founders face

- Why true growth requires ego death

- His journey of alignment, self-trust, and letting go of the blueprint

- How being a present parent changed his leadership

- Why it's okay (and necessary) to let things fall apart before they come together
