A new series / Coming soon
Almost Broke
Conversations with founders who nearly lost everything before building something unforgettable.
Episodes coming soon.
We’re recording season one now. The first stories drop in the new year, raw, unedited, from the founders who lived them.
About the show
The best businesses aren’t built from perfect stories. They’re built from setbacks.
Almost Broke exists to tell the stories no one posts on LinkedIn. Every guest shares the moments they thought everything was over, and how they found a way through.
Not flashy. Not motivational. A place where founders tell the stories they normally never share.
Your host
Chris started Almost Broke because the podcasts he needed at 3am didn’t exist. Now he interviews the founders he wishes he could have called.
“Success stories are edited. I want the unedited version.”
The Set , Princeton, NJ
Recorded in a warm, low-lit room downtown.
Exposed brick, walnut table, two mics. Founders fly in from NYC and Philly, and end the night on Witherspoon.
