There's always a lot of talk about what the biggest challenges of founders are and how to overcome them, but we all have our own reasons for why we do it.
For me, the pace at which I'm learning and the incredibly talented and driven people in the startup community outweigh the hardships.
What's your take? Would you choose to be a maker and founder all over again?

I have to agree that the pace of learning is a big plus, especially considering the range of areas you get exposed to.
I think my favorite is the feeling you get from turning an idea into a happy customer.

@shownotes So true, I don't think many founders can go back to having a set time for a lunch break 😄

Working 12-hour days on average including weekends and not having social life is on top of my mind. F**k balance 🤣
On a serious note, talking to people about their problems, then finding innovative ways to solve those problems, then being praised for that is pretty awesome feeling 😄
With experience I can say., what I thought did not work. But staying persistent and learning taught me how this world operates. That feelings of slowly cracking the process is a fun.
Every wins after so many struggles is unparalleled joy
