Our guests, thought leaders, clients, partners, and all-around good humans, have taken us on their incredible journey through their dirt: the good, the bad, the ugly, and everything in between. So many of them called out some of the outstanding results they have had in overcoming obstacles (many in partnership with Orchid Black), which is always fantastic to hear about their team's extraordinary work.

Jim Barnish walks us through the five pillars of a company growing smart from startup to exit: Strategy. Talent. Product. Revenue. Operations. Create a strategy, hire talent to fulfill the strategy, build a product with that talent, drive revenue with the product, and operations facilitates the journey.

ABOUT OUR GUEST

This business podcast is a place where we get down into the depths of a founder's story and expertise. Being an entrepreneur isn't easy; it's painful, it's ugly, it's dirty, and it usually entails things that people don't want to hear. This show is meant to bring forward the trials and tribulations that entrepreneurs have encountered and overcome. This show will make you uncomfortable. But here at Orchid Black, we know that growth is far from comfortable. It's raw. It's real. It's dirty. And we are here to uncover everything that happens before an exit. Because at one time, even the yellow brick road was covered in dirt.
