What if the difference between your business thriving and barely surviving isn't more capital, better timing, or a lucky break. Instead it’s the lessons you haven't learned yet from people who've already been exactly where you are?
Every episode, we sit down with founders, investors and business leaders who've actually built something. The ones who've risked their own money, made tough calls, navigated failures and created businesses that endure and turnover millions.
We talk about the decisions that kept them up at night. The pivots that worked. The mistakes that didn't. The moments when quitting looked easier than continuing. And the strategies, mindset shifts and lessons that made the difference between barely surviving and actually succeeding.
If you're building a business, you'll hear stories that validate what you're going through and give you insight you can apply immediately.
If you're thinking about starting, you'll get an honest view of what's actually involved and whether it's the right path for you.
If you've been doing this a while, you'll find others who understand the pressure you carry and the vision that keeps you going.
This is for the people building something meaningful. The ones willing to do what's difficult today for what matters tomorrow. The ones who understand that success comes from consistent execution, smart choices and pushing through when it gets uncomfortable.

In this episode of Mr & Mrs in Business, Chris and Helen sit down with Laura and Kelly from Hayley Windows to talk about the real experience of being women running a business in the construction world, from generational ownership to managing customers, pricing challenges and staying grounded in a very flashy industry.
The conversation dives into what it’s like being women-led in a male-dominated sector, how roles evolve over time when working with your partner and why brand, service and trust still win in business today. Expect relatable stories, a bit of ranting and plenty of laughs.
They also explore how perception doesn’t always reflect reality, especially when people assume business owners are loaded, or that turnover equals profit. If you’ve ever felt misunderstood as a business owner or wanted insight into the reality behind running a trade-based company, this one is packed with gold.
