ÜBER DIESEN PODCAST 🔗
Most startups don't die from bad ideas. They die from the same handful of mistakes, made over and over, that nobody warned them about.
Build and Break Through is Hunter Harris - fractional CPTO, advisor, and four-exit operator - in real conversations with the founders, builders, and operators who've lived it and are living it. The wins, the wrecks, and the hard-won lessons in between.
Hunter's spent years watching the same questions sink good companies. This show takes the answers out of the boardroom and into yours - give-first, no fluff - so founders can ship, survive, scale, and succeed.

"AI is making things more efficient, but it's still expensive to build a company." Founders say "we only need 500,000." What if you need two million? "You fail before you finish."
We also get into why the company's law…
A company Jeff Patton worked with this year shipped a glossy new release to 2.65 million customers. AI helped them get it out on time. It didn't break. There were no bugs. Nobody liked it.
Jeff, author of User Story Mapping, joins me to talk about dual track development. He says the book needs a s…
How much of the feedback on a release actually needs to block it?
David Rasch looks for the checks his team can automate so nobody has to keep thinking about them. If an agent repeatedly makes the same mistake, a deterministic check can catch it before a person spends another review pointing it ou…

He breaks down what go…

In this episode, R. Hunter Harris explains how product decisions ripple through an organization, why building and maintaining multiple product surfaces multiplies development and QA work, and how platform-specific demands can fracture a supposedly narrow ICP. He shows why better AI and process impr…
