Jayla Siciliano knows what it feels like to chase the dream, hit burnout, and completely rebuild. After raising half a million dollars without connections, surviving a product launch disaster, and landing a Shark Tank deal with Mark Cuban, she walked away from it all to create something that actually supports her life. Today, she runs a bi-coastal luxury short term rental company and hosts the Seed Money Podcast to help early stage founders get funded and stay sane.

In this episode, Jayla gets real about the pressure of raising capital, the reality of burning out on your own dream, and how she rebuilt her business and lifestyle from the ground up. If you're questioning what success really means or wondering how to fund your big idea, this one is a must-listen.
