Tying Your Identity to Success | Levi Lindsay

Today I talk to Levi Lindsay, Co-Founder at we.are.mind., VP of Content Marketing at Kizik, and Creative Consultant at Creatably. We discuss the path of entrepreneurship and the various things you learn along the way, such as scaling vs just getting started and chasing a quick buck, or dealing with mental health. As a business owner, you have to watch not only yourself, but every other person that relies on you, such as your family or employees and this can really put a lot of weight on your shoulders. Those harder struggles have taught Levi things he will remember for the rest of his life and they still influence his decisions to this day.

“Look, I could leave this business, but if I’m not Levi the co-founder, then what am I? I tied my identity to this, so who’s Levi if I’m not a co-founder? If I’m not this rising star on LinkedIn, then who the hell am I? It was just this mess I didn’t know how to get out of and I didn’t see any light at the end of the tunnel, and I thought, ‘Man if I failed at this, I failed at life.’” 15:39
