Founder's Voyage
By Spencer Walker-Fooks, Nancy Nash
Founder’s Voyage is a podcast for the ones building in the dark, the ones failing forward, and the ones figuring it out as they go.
We bring you unfiltered conversations with founders who’ve faced the highs, and the lows. Just real lessons from the people in the arena.
Whether you're scaling a startup or sketching your first idea on a napkin, these are the stories that remind you you're not alone—and the insights that help you move forward.
We are an entrepreneurial community united by a shared mission of shared learning and supporting each other.
