Whether you're thinking about launching your own brand or you're already building something outside of your day job, this episode offers an honest look at the realities behind growing a business.

In Episode 2 of Tempus & Grey, we get real about the battles that shape us. From the grip of addiction to the weight of overwhelming debt, we open up about what it truly takes to hit rock bottom—and start climbing back up.

We dive into the role religion and faith can play in recovery, questioning, rebuilding, and finding purpose when everything feels lost. This is an honest conversation about struggle, accountability, and the long road to becoming better versions of ourselves.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, broken, or buried by your past, this episode is for you.

No filters. No pretending. Just real stories, real pain, and real growth.

Welcome to Tempus & Grey — where new school meets old school.

In this episode, we dive deep into the journey of walking away from the 9–5 life to build our own jewellery brands from the ground up. We talk honestly about what pushed us to take that leap, the risks we had to accept, and the mindset it takes to bet on yourself.

This isn’t just the highlight reel — we break down the real struggles behind the scenes. From sourcing and production challenges to navigating trust, competition, and the hidden side of the jewellery game, we’re giving you an unfiltered look at what it actually takes to survive and grow in this industry.

If you’re thinking about starting your own business, already in the game, or just curious about how things really work behind closed doors, this one’s for you.
