The Decade Behind My “Overnight Success” | #1276

Most “overnight successes” hide a decade of losses. Not luck. Not timing. Not shortcuts. They’re built on failure, debt, and the decision to keep going when everyone stops.

In this episode, Brandon Bornancin unpacks the unglamorous stretch behind Seamless AI—shutting down startups, watching a $12M business vanish overnight, and digging out of nearly $200K in debt. You’ll learn the systems that turned chaos into compounding progress: how to set kill criteria, move fast on dead ideas, and rebuild with focus and discipline.

Brandon reveals the mindset shifts that matter, the daily reps that stack results, and the packaging playbook that wins attention while your product catches up. Whether you’re a founder, executive, or sales leader, these operating principles shorten the learning curve and extend your runway when things go sideways.
