Darrell Shaw opens up about the challenges of building a successful business and the importance of asking the right questions along the way. Reflecting on his own experience, he shares that there was a period where he went a year and a half without taking a paycheck to keep his company afloat. “If you can go through that and still love what you’re doing, then maybe this business is for you,” he says, emphasizing the need for resilience and passion in entrepreneurial ventures.
