What happens when a serial entrepreneur bets everything on one last venture? Nathan Gwilliam has poured five and a half million dollars and six grueling years into his fourth startup, PodUp - and this month could make or break everything. In this explosive debut episode of Fountain of Vitality, host LaMont Leavitt sits down with Nathan as he reveals why chasing perfect daily balance nearly destroyed his previous companies and shares his controversial "extreme imbalance" philosophy that actually saved his family relationships.
