Founder F**K ups

Por: Ben Bagg

Behind every glossy founder story is a graveyard of mistakes, missteps and meltdowns. Founder F**k Ups digs them up.Every week I sit down with a Founder who'll tell you what actually went wrong - the hire they kept too long, the co-founder they gave half the company to, the pivot they made two years late. No humble bragging. No highlight reel. Just the decisions that cost real money and what they'd do differently.Most of my guests are building in Southeast Asia, and most are early enough that the scars are still fresh. Episodes run 25–35 minutes, because you're busy and the lesson doesn't need an hour.If you're making these mistakes in a vacuum, stop. Come and hear how someone else already made them.Hosted by Ben Bagg - Founder coach, 100+ Founders coached one-on-one.www.founderfuckups.co
