A FIKR PODCAST NETWORK

The world of
entrepreneurship —
told by the people building it.

One network. Five shows. Five lenses on the same world. Where you build (Borderless), when you start (The Solopreneur Revolution), how you cross to Series A (The SCALEUP Revolution), how you productize a service (The Productise Revolution), and where you actually live (The Trenches). Each one a deep, opinionated take on a different dimension of building.

01 — The Shows

Five shows. Five lenses on the same world.

A founder shopping for the next ecosystem to enter doesn't share a podcast with a corporate professional building in the margins, who doesn't share a podcast with a seed-funded operator shipping to Series A, who doesn't share a podcast with an agency owner productizing a service. Different lives. Different shows. One brand.

The bridge from PMF to Series A is the worst-covered stage in startup media. €30K MRR through €2M ARR — the year-and-a-half almost nobody covers honestly. Companion podcast to the upcoming “SCALEUP Revolution” book — built around the SCALEUP methodology (7 pillars).

The Productise Revolution

96% of service businesses never scale past the founder. The podcast for the agency, consulting, and coaching owners ready to be in the 4%.

Companion to the MACHINE methodology.

The Trenches.
● Launching soon · Waitlist open

The Trenches

// Host TBD

The dark side of building. Burnout, loneliness, breakdowns, co-founder breakups, post-exit depression. The conversations that don’t happen on the LinkedIn highlight reel — on the record, with names attached. Borderless by design.

02 — Why five shows

Five lenses on the same world.

Each show owns a different dimension of the founder reality. Borderless is about WHERE you build — the geography outside Silicon Valley. The Solopreneur Revolution is about WHEN you start — the BUILD methodology and the corporate-to-solo shift. The SCALEUP Revolution is about HOW you cross to Series A — the SCALEUP methodology and the year between PMF and Series A. The Productise Revolution is about HOW you productize — the MACHINE methodology and turning a service into a scalable offer. The Trenches is about WHERE you actually live — the interior reality of building. Same editorial bar. Same brand. Five different worlds.
