I was in your position one year ago, when I finally took the plunge to start GiveTide. I was 23 at the time. I had been working on GiveTide nights and weekends in addition to working a full time job.I can relate to where you are.It’s the anticipation before jumping into freezing water.PC: May LeeFair warning my friend: in our icy water, there are hungry orcas and aggressive narwhals.

Building a company is hard.(1) You Will Need to Stomach a Life of Pure RiskMy Senior Year of college, I had two job offers. In one hand, I had my dream offer to trade derivatives in Manhattan, where most of my friends would also be working.In the other, I had the unique opportunity to work for a large manufacturing holding company owned by Berkshire Hathaway. This company was prepared to invest significant resources into my development as the “Guinea Pig” of their pilot talent-development program. I would most likely work in Chicago, where I have family and friends. But it was also made very clear to me that I could be placed nearly anywhere in the country.To this date I have not faced a more difficult decision. I had trusted friends & family advocating for opposing sides.For the first time in my life, I face a true fork in the train tracks (please excuse the foreshadowing). I just didn’t know which path to take.After months of deliberation, I woke up on the morning of the deadline date. I still didn’t know. I happened to be in Manhattan visiting Wall St. alumni for my finance major. Things happened quickly that day:A Managing Director from the investment bank personally texts me, courting my potential upside at the firm. I have to tell him I haven’t decided.Back to back to back meetings until 4:15pm. Last meeting of the day.The man we are meeting with is a Private Equity titan, and one of the most prominent Alumni from my Alma Mater. I am sitting directly next to him in his company’s massive Board Room.I literally ask him what I should do.I take his advice.I turn down my offer in New YorkTwo months later, I learned that I would be stationed in Alexandria, Louisiana, alone, for a year.

I would be half the country away from my girlfriend of two years.I had passed on a promising, lucrative career in something I was good at. I knew nothing about manufacturing. I had no idea what I would be learning.I had been transplanted into an entirely different environment. I grew up in a New Jersey suburb.On paper, I lost the dice roll.But I loved it.The work I was doing was incredibly interesting. I learned to weld. I picked up golf and guitar. I took piloting lessons and flew a plane. I scored 740 on my first GMAT attempt. I shot some really big guns. After adjusting for cost of living, I was netting way more than I would have in New York. I learned an incredible amount about myself.I had been set free.That freedom let me start my company.If I had taken the traditional, responsible, risk-averse route, I would not have been able to start GiveTide.
