The Third Growth Option with Benno Duenkelsbuehler and Guests

Welcome to The Third Growth Option, where we're not just talking about growth—we're making it our mission.


At TGO, we understand that success isn't a fixed destination; it's an ongoing journey with twists, turns, and unexpected detours that take us to new places. Those moments are our Third Growth Options, where we throw away binary choices to create our own path. 


Hosted by Benno Duenkelsbuehler, O.G #GrowthNerd, we're on a mission to redefine success inside and outside of business, one episode at a time. From humble beginnings to Fortune 500 companies, our stories are not just about business—it's about the relentless pursuit of greatness in every aspect of life.


With each episode, we don’t just want to share insights—we want to empower business owners across all frontiers to carve their own path to success, their way.
