Lessons in the Lounge - Ashes to Assets

About Lessons in the Lounge - Ashes to Assets

This isn’t a typical business podcast. It’s not about hype, shortcuts, or surface-level advice. It’s about how real businesses are built, how partnerships actually come together, what happens behind the scenes when things get hard and how long-term thinking shapes real success The idea is simple — create a space that feels more like a private lounge than a stage. A place for thoughtful conversations with people who are building, leading, and learning in real time while enjoying a cigar and sharing some real life business experiences.
