Most founders think stress is a problem to solve.
They try to suppress it, manage it, or push through it. But actually, stress isn’t the threat. It’s a signal. A diagnostic.
And when you treat it like something to get rid of, you miss the important message it’s trying to send.
The result? Slower decisions, tension with your team, and momentum leaks you can’t afford.
But if you know how to carry it — stress becomes your engine, not your enemy.
Today, you'll learn how to do just that.
