Today on the show I'm speaking with Anthony Ware. As the Founder & Principal of AWare Catalysts and Founder Mental Wealth, Anthony helps underestimated startup founders use their mental wealth and company culture to leapfrog business norms, and create new generational wealth.

But it wasn’t always like this for him. Anthony grew up as a latchkey kid in Indianapolis. He and his two younger brothers were raised by his dad. First gig...cleaning toilets for his dad's janitorial business.

Anthony jumped from the corporate ladder to launch startups. He ignored his scarcity mentality until it broke him in November 2010, he had to live in a car in New Orleans after his third startup failed. Two months later, thanks to mentors and yoga teacher training, Anthony was a phoenix.
 

We talk about a range of really interesting topics focused on:
- Learning to deal with failure
- The inspiration behind his two startups
- Dealing with failure as an entrepreneur
- The alarming lack of mental health data on entrepreneurs of color, and what he did to fix that
