About Building
Building is a podcast for entrepreneurs, business owners and founders who are in the process of 'Building' a business. Like many business owners we have been learning on the job. Quickly. Business podcasts have been on play during everything dog walk, gym session and commute. That is where we saw the problem. These podcasts feature guests who have been there, done it and exited for millions (if not billions). The problem? This gives you a false sense of what it's like to be in the trenches. Fighting to make payroll, trying to get that first client, making that first hire, paying that first tax bill (there's a lot of firsts). That's where Building comes in.

Building is more than a business podcast. It's a community for entrepreneurs, business owners, founders and people who know that one day they will take the leap into this world.

Networking is broken. We're changing that. Join the community today. Search 'The Building Community' on LinkedIn to get involved.
