Its All BS Podcast
This is a real-time documentation of growing and scaling our business while documenting the hurdles and successes along the way.
Why add to the chatter?
I think a healthy question is to ask why add to the noise in the podcasting space. Ultimately, I see there being 3 people who could benefit from it (in order)
1. Myself - I love the act of reflecting and unpacking the day, and I want to have live documentation of the journey of us growing and growing our business instead of the events unfolding to be footnotes in a story that is reflected on in years to come.
2. My Kids and Family - When I play our journey forward, it seems as though we are going to be in quite a wealthy position in the future, and I would like to have a catalogue of what it is like to be growing business with a young family so that our kids can see what it is really like.
3. The Broader Community - I binged Start Up Podcast when we were at the beginning of our business Journey, and it was so insightful to see things unfolding in real-time instead of retrospectively. I trust that as we grow, others will be able to benefit from our story.
