When Does Building a Business Become Addiction? | Risky Assets #40

Most people who build something will tell you the hard part is the work. It is not. The hard part is knowing what enough looks like, and almost nobody says that out loud. One version of drive looks like excellence. Another looks like addiction. From the inside, the two can feel identical. Charlie Deaver and Daniel Clarke spend a full episode sitting in that question: where ambition stops being healthy, what has kept one of them working harder than he probably should, the cost they have watched other founders pay without ever choosing it, the opportunities they turned down on purpose, and what is left of legacy once you look at it honestly.
