If you know our host Omar, you know he prides himself on a healthy lifestyle. But everyone eventually meets the bug they just can’t beat.

…no, it wasn’t that one. 

But Omar was recently laid out for 10 days with one of the nastiest infections you can get without heading to the hospital. And while it wasn’t life-altering like a serious illness, it did force some serious reflection, specifically about life as an entrepreneur.

In this episode, Omar explores what he learned by being forced to do nothing. When you face the powerlessness and helplessness that illness can bring, it reorients your perspective — even if you normally think of yourself as “in control” of most aspects of your life.
