Overcome obstacles by remembering David’s advice on pushing through growing pains:

“I had to not just do it. I had to be great at it. When you step into one of these positions

you have to be aware that it’s a challenge and you have to try to win.”

Most importantly, rest assured that you aren’t alone:

“No one is telling you what to do. So every single piece of it is ripe with insecurity and your job as a founder is to fight all of that. Stay optimistic, be confident, lead,

and put the company in the position to succeed.”
