I've been married to Rob Walling for almost 24 years, so I went into this one already knowing the plot. Rob was raised to follow the rules, with a whole career mapped out as an executive at his family's electrical construction company. Then he got into the management training program, realized he was miserable, and walked away with no connections and no plan except that he liked writing code.
Rob is the founder of Drip, co-founder of TinySeed, and the host of Startups for the Rest of Us. We get into the years he built on nights and weekends before he'd let himself quit the day job, the tattoo he got of a hand drawing a map, and the arrival fallacy that left him restless three months after getting everything he'd worked for. He makes the case that the buck stops with the founder, which means you're allowed to do far more than you think.
Mostly, it's an episode about giving yourself permission to make bold, imperfect decisions and act before you feel ready.
