S1E05 — This Is F*cked: True Stories of Startups Wrecked by the Old Way
Behind every failed startup is more than a bad idea, it’s a person who lost their savings, their sanity, or their sense of direction. In this episode, we’re pulling back the curtain on the emotional side of failure—the kind caused by broken systems, outdated methods, and advice that never should’ve been given.
You’ll hear raw stories of founders who did everything they were told… and still watched it fall apart. Hosts Vince O’Gorman (Founder, Nexxt Ideas), Brady MacDonald (Chief of Sales, Nexxt Ideas), and Christa Hill (Co-Founder, Tacit Edge) share the brutal truths most people won’t say out loud—and how to avoid becoming one of those stories.
In This Episode:
What startup failure really costs—the human side
How the “old way” of building sets people up to lose
Stories of avoidable disasters and what could’ve changed them
A look at smarter, more sustainable ways to build from day one
Perfect for:

Entrepreneurs stuck in outdated startup playbooks
