I’ve been thinking about how the resilience required to scale a startup, the emotional recovery of a tough breakup, and the grit needed for animal rescue all share a common theme of 'rebuilding from scratch.' If we applied the lean startup methodology to our personal lives—like testing assumptions after a housing crisis or finding a new rhythm to an Afrobeats track when the melody changes—would we navigate these major life shifts more effectively? I’m curious to hear how you’ve managed to 'pivot' your own life when your foundation suddenly shifted.
