About this listen

 In my experience, the brightest and most successful people’s stories resemble a dish from a fancy restaurant - served with a lot of pretty garnishes, but never enough meat. We always hear about the pretty things, the grand finale, the successes, and the highs, but never much about the external pressures, internal conflicts, struggles, and self-doubt. Yet, the real juicy, meaty bits make the dish worthwhile in the first place (no offence to any vegans). Frustrated with this reality and itching to take my passions to the next level, the idea for the podcast was born.Calvin Branson Economics Leadership Management & Leadership

    Joel showed up to work one Monday… and found chains on the gates. The company had liquidated. That’s how his first real business started.

    In this episode, we unpack the chaos behind entrepreneurship. Joel doesn’t have a rags-to-riches story — he has something more down-to-earth, more honest, and far more relatable.

    No trust fund. No connections. Just one guy navigating commercial diving in the Caribbean, engineering in South Africa, legal battles, fatherhood, and figuring out how to build companies from thin air.
