Welcome to Built Leadership.

This podcast has gone through a few name changes, but I finally landed on Built Leadership because it captures what I actually wanted this show to be about.

It’s not just a podcast about business owners and what they’ve built. It’s about the journey that built them.

I talk with entrepreneurs, founders, and business leaders about how they got started, where they are now, the hurdles they had to overcome, and the moments that shaped them into the leaders they are today.

We also get into how they grew their businesses, how they found customers, and the lessons they would pass on to someone earlier in the journey.

My goal is simple: to humanize the process of building a business and make leadership feel more real, more tangible, and more honest.
