ОБ ЭТОМ ЭПИЗОДЕ
This episode goes deep — business, fatherhood, purpose, creative talent, and what it really takes to scale without losing yourself.
Jonathan Grzybowski, co-founder of PENJI, joins Jerry Brazie to talk about:
-
Bootstrapping a creative subscription service into an Inc. 5000 company
-
Why so many entrepreneurs get burned hiring creative talent
-
The communication gap that destroys projects before they even start
-
Why simplicity and solving one clear problem always wins
-
The real reason founders stay stuck (hint: ego + trying to do everything yourself)
-
How becoming a dad reshapes the way you lead, work, and make decisions
-
Why entrepreneurship feels lonely — and how peer groups change everything
This is one of the most grounded, transparent conversations we've had on the show — a mix of raw entrepreneurship, humility, and the purpose that comes with raising a family while building something meaningful.
If you're a business owner doing $1M–$25M a year, trying to scale without losing your sanity, this episode will hit home.
