   Episode 32: Every Startup Was Supposed to Make Me Rich (with Grant Chapman)

   Grant Chapman is no stranger to failure, and that’s exactly what makes his story compelling. As the CEO and co-founder of Glassboard, Grant opens up about his long, messy path to building a successful business, including multiple startups that didn’t pan out and lessons learned the hard way. From founder-led sales to finally building a team that can sell without him, this episode dives into what it takes to stay in the game long enough to win. If you’ve ever felt like you’re one mistake away from closing shop, Grant’s unfiltered honesty will feel like a lifeline.
