<p>In this raw and deeply human episode of <em>Passion Struck</em>, I sit down with <strong>Kass and Mike Lazerow</strong>—serial entrepreneurs, early investors in Scopely and Liquid Death, and authors of the powerful new book, <a href="https://amzn.to/3ZcQFcM" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>Shoveling Sh!t: A Love Story About the Entrepreneur’s Messy Path to Success</em></a>.</p><p>We go far beyond startup strategy and dive into what most founders won’t say out loud: the loneliness, the identity loss, the trauma—and the daily choice to love through it all. This isn’t just a business story. It’s a blueprint for building anything <em>real</em>: a company, a relationship, a life—with soul at the center.</p><p>Click HERE for the full show notes</p><p><strong>Explore More: The Ignited Life Newsletter</strong></p><p>If today’s episode sparked something in you, you’ll love The Ignited Life—our free Substack newsletter created to fuel your growth between episodes.</p><p>👉 Subscribe now at <a href="https://theignitedlife.net/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">TheIgnitedLife.net</a>.</p><p>Catch more of Kass and Mike Lazerow: <a href="https://kassandmike.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://kassandmike.com/</a></p><p>If you liked the show, please leave us a review—it only takes a moment and helps us reach more people!
