The podcast
Honest conversations on building, scaling, burnout, and mental health. The version most founders keep off the record, in your ears each week.
Launched 1 January 2026. A finalist at the Scottish Podcast Awards, Emerging Talent category.
What it is
Most founder content sells a highlight reel. This podcast does the opposite. We sit down with founders and talk about what it is actually like to build something, including the parts that are hard to say out loud. It has been sponsored from episode one by dussl.
The topics
Building, scaling, burnout, and mental health. The honest version of each.
The early decisions, the false starts, and the work of getting something off the ground. What it actually takes, not the tidied-up story.
Hiring, cash flow, and the calls that get harder as the business grows. The points where what worked before stops working.
The cost of carrying it all. Founders talk openly about the toll the work takes and what they have learned about handling it.
The honest conversation about the head space running a business puts you in, and why it matters that founders talk about it.
