It’s a question almost every entrepreneur will at some point face: How do you keep a company stable while you’re pulled into a personal crisis? For Chris Carter, founder of Approyo, that question came shortly after his startup launched — when his daughter developed epilepsy. After working himself to exhaustion, Chris stepped back and retooled how his company operated and how he was treating himself. The result was a stronger company, a healthier founder and a better balance for everyone.
