The Brokepreneur

The Brokepreneur is a raw, honest look at the real cost of chasing the business dream. After a decade of long hours, tough calls, and doing whatever it takes to keep others paid, host Lee Stone shares the stories no one tells — the cracks, the lessons, and the moments that nearly broke him.

It’s business without the BS — part therapy, part storytelling, and all heart.
