The path to entrepreneurial success is rarely a straight line—it's full of twists, turns, and unexpected detours.

In this episode of the SCORE podcast, we're joined by Aaron Friedman, CEO of Guideposts.io and SCORE mentor, who opens up about his real-world journey as an entrepreneur—complete with the bumps, breakthroughs, and big lessons learned.

• How to shift from doing everything to leading like a true owner
• Why flexibility and continued learning are your best allies when things don’t go as planned
