The Long Shortcut
The Long Shortcut is a no-BS podcast for founders building in real time. Owen and James share the wins, failures, tools, and chaos of startup life — from messy ops to early sales and finding product-market fit. It’s raw, honest, and occasionally useful. If you’re building something and need a dose of reality (with a few laughs), you’re in the right place. There’s no straight path to success — just a long shortcut.
