“There are always new problems that you’re uncovering, and I think that’s the joy. Your job as an entrepreneur is to make the red lights into green lights, and just figure out how to fix things and make the ship keep moving.”

Entrepreneurs all face uncertainty. It comes with the territory of bringing something new into existence. But as the coronavirus has swept the globe, it can feel like uncertainty is at an all-time high due to closed manufacturing facilities and unstable stock markets.
