The $10M Culture Mistake That Destroyed My Business | Business by Blueprint Ep. 1

Why is building a business so hard? In this inaugural episode of the Business by Blueprint Podcast, hosts Chris Alexander and Travis Dean cut through the polished social media noise to talk about the real, unscripted realities of running a company. From scaling an engineering firm to $10M in under five years to the devastating mistake of addressing culture too late, Chris shares raw lessons learned the hard way. Together, Travis and Chris break down entrepreneurial delusional optimism, why bad partnerships fail, financial pressures when the mortgage is due, and the core iCORE™ framework needed to navigate it all.
