Our first-generation fathers didn’t let fear stop them from building a new life from nothing. They pushed through and did whatever it took to make it. In this special episode of Founders & Empanadas, I sit down with my cousin, Steven Eidelman, Founder & CEO of Modern Animal, to eat some empanadas (while spilling on our shirts) and dive into how our fathers’ grit shaped us as second-generation founders. Below, Steven shares a moment when he realized he was avoiding a problem at work out of fear—and how facing it head-on made all the difference. While we had this conversation, we realized there are a ton of parallels between how our fathers approached their lives and businesses and how we apply those lessons to the challenges we face in our own companies today. Check out this full interview with Steven to see how we’re walking in our fathers’ footsteps as the next generation of Eidelman entrepreneurs: https://lnkd.in/e-fMWDuS

Investor rejection is a gift. Santiago (Santi) Jaramillo shared this positive reframe for founders facing fundraising challenges, encouraging them to treat every ‘no’ as a mentoring session. He suggests creating an investor gratitude journal. After every pitch, write down what you learned and what you're grateful for from that investor. This helps you see rejections as valuable feedback about your business, team, market, or financials. It forces you to take a discouraging experience and turn it into a tool for getting better. By engaging in this practice, founders can make sure they’re getting value from every interaction, regardless of the outcome. — How do you handle rejection in your entrepreneurial journey? Share your tips below! Watch the full episode with Santi Jaramillo, entrepreneur and executive coach, right here: https://lnkd.in/e-fMWDuS
