Most founders talk about their wins. But here's the thing: the real lessons are buried in the disasters. Kara Preston built and sold two companies before 30, then watched her third one implode spectacularly. Turns out, that failure taught her more about business than every success combined. Midnight Builders isn't your typical startup podcast. While everyone else is chasing unicorn stories, Kara sits down with founders who've been through actual hell and came out with battle scars worth sharing. These aren't polished case studies. They're raw conversations about what really happens when the money runs out, when co-founders turn toxic, and when that "sure thing" product completely flops. Each episode drops you into a specific moment of crisis or breakthrough. You'll hear how a SaaS founder pivoted three times in six months, why a hardware startup nearly died from a single tweet, and what happens when AI actually threatens your entire business model overnight. No sugar-coating, no inspiring platitudes. Just the messy truth about building something from nothing. Perfect for anyone who wants to know what entrepreneurship actually feels like, not what it looks like on LinkedIn. Follow now. New episodes every day.
