Is your business idea actually an opportunity? #entrepreneurship #businessstrategy

In this episode of the show, host Mitch Beinhaker sits down with entrepreneur, consultant, and university professor Brad Poulos to talk about why so many startups fail—even after raising millions of dollars. Brad breaks down his core operational philosophy: why structural systems matter vastly more than rigid endpoints, and why the "stealth mode" mentality might be killing your business before it even launches.
