Building
Building is a podcast and community for entrepreneurs, business owners, and founders in the thick of building a business.

It provides a platform for sharing experiences, learning from others, and fostering a supportive community for those navigating the ups & downs of building a business. If you're an entrepreneur, business owner, founder, or someone aspiring to be one, Building is the podcast and community for you.
