In Episode 4 of The Clueless Founder, Craig shifts the channel from a solo journey to a shared platform for builders. He unpacks what’s coming next for the podcast and how the spotlight starts widening to include the community.

Craig introduces two key storytelling formats. The Community Spotlight, created for founders in the early stages who are still figuring things out, and the Founders Showcase, designed for experienced entrepreneurs and businesses who have walked the path and are willing to support the next generation responsibly.

This episode explores why every founder’s story matters, regardless of revenue, scale, or polish. Craig shares the vision for creating a transparent, community-driven space where builders support builders, stories inspire action, and success is paid forward.
