Certainty in Chaos: Entrepreneurship as It Happens—the show that dives into the raw, unfiltered stories of founders still in the thick of it. We spotlight the resilience, emotional warfare, and daily doubts of building a business in the early days, when success is just a vision. These are the founders who thrive in chaos, turning adversity into a superpower. If you’ve ever wondered what it actually feels like to leave the safety of a 9-to-5 and bet it all on yourself, you’re in the right place. Let’s find the certainty in chaos.
