You're probably right. Built Different cuts through the LinkedIn motivational spam to show you what actually works when you're trying to grow a real company. Join Marcus Chen, who burned out so hard running five restaurants that he sold the whole chain and spent two years figuring out where business advice goes wrong. Now he breaks down the unsexy truth about business growth, entrepreneurship, and scaling without venture capital. No feel good fluff, just the strategies that actually move the needle on lead generation and startup survival. Marcus interviews founders who built profitable companies the hard way, plus shares the mistakes that almost killed his own business. You'll get the real story behind successful businesses, not the sanitized version they post on social media. Each episode digs into specific tactics you can actually use, whether you're just starting out or trying to scale past your first few hires. If you're tired of business podcasts that sound like they were written by a marketing team, this one's for you. Follow Built Different now for multiple new episodes daily that'll change how you think about entrepreneurship.","last_synced_at":"2026-09-17T08:21:51.646659+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/built-different-7728561"},"episode":{"title":"It Took Me $50M To Realize Money Has No Meaning (What I Learned)","slug":"it-took-me-50m-to-realize-money-has-no-meaning-what-i-learned","published_at":"2026-09-16T00:06:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/built-different-7728561/it-took-me-50m-to-realize-money-has-no-meaning-what-i-learned","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/built-different-7728561","url":"https://traffic.megaphone.fm/PODAGEN5435527853.mp3?updated=1776256208","audio_url":"https://traffic.megaphone.fm/PODAGEN5435527853.mp3?updated=1776256208","summary":"Marcus Chen hit $50 million and had an existential crisis.
