Ever feel like everyone else has it all figured out except you? Idiot to Genius shares stories from entrepreneurs who’ve lived both sides of the journey the “idiot” moments where nothing works, and the “genius” moments that only come because they kept going. It’s the very human process of building something where the right to fail is what unlocks the ability to succeed. These conversations pull back the curtain on the pivots, the grit, and the lessons learned along the way. Because the truth is, most people feel lost long before they feel capable and these stories remind you you’re not alone.
