Under Construction is the real, unfiltered story of building a business while it's actually being built. 🚧
No fake 'overnight success' stories here, just raw progress, messy middle moments, and the behind-the-scenes grind of turning an idea into something real. Each episode dives into what's working, what's breaking, and what's being rebuilt (again). Think of it as a front-row seat to the entrepreneurial process: honest, scrappy, and always a little under construction.
