Ever wondered what happens when the entrepreneurial dream meets reality? It's not all success stories and smooth sailing. Welcome to 'How I Destroyed This,' where your hosts and fellow entrepreneurs, Tracy Komlos and Carli Blum dive deep into the gritty, not-so-glamorous side of starting a business. From financial collapses to unexpected setbacks, we explore the struggles, and downright disasters that happen behind the scenes. The juicy stuff that rarely makes the highlight reel. The real stories about how failure can actually become the most important lesson on the road to success. It’s raw, it’s real, and it’s packed with insights on transforming obstacles into innovative opportunities. Come along for the ride as we share our personal journeys, talk to fellow founders, and celebrate the resilience that comes from taking big risks and following your dreams.
