A 29-year-old small-business owner says entrepreneurship shouldn't be 'the ultimate goal for everyone' and describes the challenges, including professional loneliness
- Jack Schrupp, the founder of Drink Wholesome, left teaching and coaching to grow his protein powder company.
- The business brought in seven figures in 2024.
- Schrupp likes that entrepreneurship offers freedom, but it can feel isolating and lonely at times.
- As the owner of a small business with one employee, Schrupp now spends most days by himself.
- Running your own business can feel isolating and especially if it's a hard journey, which it often is.
- It's also harder to set boundaries when you're building a company versus working for an employer.
- For now, at 29, Schrupp is committed to continuing to grow his brand.

- Having that conversation often and then making changes as needed is a really important part of the process.
