Key Takeaways
Peer groups are more effective than mentors because they provide tactical transparency and a safe space to discuss the psychological burdens of leadership with those currently in the same journey.
The most critical trait for an entrepreneur is courage and the guts to make decisions, which often matters more than pure intelligence or charisma when navigating business growth.
Recruiting world-class operators is a long-game effort; Sam spent over two years building a relationship with his current CEO before the timing was right for them to work together.
