936: I Thought I Was Building a Business: What I Was Really Building All Along

In a reflective solo episode, Jenna Kutcher pulls back the curtain on her decade of business-building to reveal a deeper purpose. She explains that beneath every strategy, pivot, and success was a single, unifying thread: the construction of a life that felt authentically hers. Starting from a small Wisconsin town with a $300 Craigslist camera, she traces the invisible through line of alignment, showing that the business was merely the vehicle for designing a life on her own terms.
