Built to Outlast explores the journeys and companies of business builders, with a focus on traditional small to mid-sized business niches in America and the strategies which allow those businesses and builders to endure and flourish. We progress from a surface level of understanding to a deeper level in order to provide knowledge, insight, and learnings that are shared amongst our community. Our episodes focus on personal motivations, journeys, and growth, as well as key drivers of the business model(s), value chain positioning, moat and sources of enduring returns on capital.
Our goal is to build content, tools and a community that supports and empowers what we believe is the backbone of America: business builders and doers, on their journey.
