Most founders only share the wins. I get them to share the real story. I'm Stephen Stanberry. This is The Unpolished Founder. I interview founders who built successful businesses. We talk about what actually happened. The failures before the wins. The pivots. The moments that almost broke them. And I teach you how to use storytelling to build your brand, create better content, and connect with your audience. Because every successful founder has a story. Most just don't know how to tell it. If you're building something, this show will help.
