The Myths and Reality of Earning a Living While Being True to You with Ariana Friedlander

Stepping into the world of entrepreneurship is both thrilling and terrifying. You get to meet awesome people and feel extraordinarily lonely. You have to do things you don’t particularly enjoy – marketing, sales, accounting, copywriting, etc. so you can make a living while being true to yourself.

From starting a family, to enduring COVID and navigating a cancer journey, Ariana knows what it takes to be an antifragile entrepreneur, and levity definitely plays a role.
