Summary

You've heard from the best in the business — Mark Cuban, Alex Hormozi, Emma Grede. Their stories are incredible. But sometimes, you need to hear from someone who's exactly where you are right now. Little Empires is a brand new series from the Foundr team, shining a spotlight on the builders inside our own community. These are Foundr students who are in the trenches — taking action, learning the hard lessons, and building their businesses in real time. No million-dollar investor checks. No built-in audiences. Just real founders, real journeys, and the honest, unfiltered realities of building something from the ground up. Because the truth is, some of the greatest businesses start small. With an idea. A side hustle. A late night after your day job. Or that one moment you finally decide to bet on yourself. Every big empire starts small — and this is where their story begins. Little Empires is proudly produced by the Foundr team as part of our mission to democratise entrepreneurial education and support the next generation of founders. Available now in the Foundr Podcast feed on all major platforms.
