Burnout, Grief & Growth: We Hit Breaking Point...
About this episode
In this episode of Accidental Business Owners, we reflect on the realities of running a growing business - the kind you don’t see on Instagram.
From building a new podcast studio, navigating cashflow, and rethinking our business priorities… to a cancelled flight that derailed an entire strategy day – we unpack what happens when the pressure quietly builds up behind the scenes.
Steve opens up about an unexpected emotional moment during a key advisory meeting - and what it revealed about time, energy, and how running a “dream” business can still weigh heavily.
We talk:
- Growth vs. sustainability
- Why building your own studio doesn’t guarantee more freedom
- The weight of juggling business, family, and grief
- What we’re focusing on next (and what we’re not)
