Build & Break Through

OM DENNE PODKAST 🔗

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.
