What’s it really like to start a business in your 20s vs your 40s?

In this raw, real episode of Generational Gains, father-son duo Greg and Carson Herlean open up about the truth behind entrepreneurship—the freedom, the failures, and the myths social media doesn’t show you.

Together they explore:

✅ Why most people don’t know how to start a business

✅ What they misunderstood when they launched their first ventures

✅ The pros and cons of having a business partner

✅ How long-term thinking changes everything

✅ Why you need cash reserves (and peace of mind)

✅ The importance of failing forward—and learning fast

Whether you’re just thinking of launching a business or you’re years in and looking to regroup, this episode delivers hard-earned wisdom from both generations. You’ll leave with a grounded view of what it takes—and why the journey is worth it.
