What happens when everything you built suddenly changes overnight?In this episode, Renee sits down with serial founder Korby to talk about resilience, reinvention, and the moments in life that test who we are.After 25 years of building, creating, and navigating change across companies like Microsoft, Yahoo, MySpace, and Ticketmaster, Korby shares the unexpected challenges behind his journey: from losing access to a product he helped build after an acquisition, to facing the realization that something he created wasn’t the right solution, and learning how to move forward when things don’t go as planned.Korby opens up about the emotional side of entrepreneurship: the uncertainty, self-doubt, imposter syndrome, and the struggle of finding direction when the path ahead isn’t clear.He shares the mindset shifts that helped him rebuild by following his “golden thread” instead of chasing a perfect plan, embracing boredom as a chance for growth, and trusting that victory can often be found right after defeat.Now building his fourth startup, Veneo, Korby reflects on what decades of change have taught him about resilience, starting over, and continuing to climb even when the journey looks different than expected.
