"Founder's Story" by IBH Media isn't a business show. It's the conversation founders don't get to have anywhere else. Think 60 Minutes, but for entrepreneurs. We sit down with the most interesting people in business and go past the highlight reel, past the pitch, past the polished version they give every other podcast. We go into the mud with them. The 2 a.m. doubts. The bet that almost ended everything. The moment they wanted to quit and didn't. You'll hear from household names like Gary V, Codie Sanchez, Rob Dyrdek, and Tom Bilyeu, and just as often from founders you've never heard of who are building something the world needs to know about. Either way, the goal is the same: a real conversation that makes you laugh, makes you think, and sometimes catches you off guard with how much it makes you feel. This is where the story behind the success finally gets told. This is "Founder's Story."

How a COVID bus bet turned into a touring empire for major artists
Touring transportation is the focus here, as Rich Thomson explains how buying 12 entertainer coaches during COVID became the foundation of Dreamliner’s rise. The episode digs into acquisitions, operating lessons, and why profit, patience, and people matter more than hype or scale alone.
What actually breaks marriages, and why high achievers often miss the real cause
