The Hardest Year of My Life as a Founder Ollie Marchon | The Without Limits Podcast | S3EP.01

Welcome to Season 3 of The Without Limits Podcast! In this kickoff episode, I take you through the last nine months since Season 2 ended and give a full update on where MARCHON is today — from the successes and setbacks to the lessons we’ve learned along the way.

It’s been the hardest year of my life as a founder. We dive into:

•⁠ ⁠The challenges of running multiple businesses — supplements, gyms, apparel, and the app — all at once.

•⁠ ⁠My struggles with control, accountability, and trusting a leadership team.

•⁠ ⁠Lessons from staying bootstrapped, facing investment decisions, and navigating financial risk.

•⁠ ⁠Reflections on product innovation, global expansion, and team growth, including the highs and lows of launching new initiatives.

•⁠ ⁠How this year shaped my personal growth as a founder and strengthened the vision for MARCHON’s future.

This episode is a candid look at what it really takes to build, scale, and sustain a business in the face of pressure, setbacks, and tough decisions. Whether you’re a founder, entrepreneur, or someone navigating challenges in your own career, there’s something here for you.

Join me as we kick off Season 3, look back on the last nine months, and set the stage for the next chapter of MARCHON.
