Most entrepreneurs aren’t prepared for the emotional and mental toll of starting a business.
In this episode of the CEO Sales Strategies Podcast, Doug C. Brown is joined by investor and entrepreneur Jose Berlanga, who shares his hard-earned insights from building—and rebuilding—businesses through wins, failures, and burnout.
You’ll learn:
✅ Why “freedom” is often the last thing you feel at the beginning
✅ How to navigate emotional fatigue while scaling
✅ What to do when your business begins to own you
✅ How Jose recovered after major financial loss—and what kept him going
✅ The mindset shifts needed to lead under real pressure
If you're in the build, the rebuild, or the burnout—this conversation will meet you where you are.
