The Hustle Myth and a Reality Check for Design-Build Firms | ThriveCAST Podcast
On this episode of ThriveCAST, Shannon sits down with Trent Raines, co-owner of Collected Living & Design, to talk about what it really takes to build a business beyond the Pinterest-worthy aesthetics.
From leaving behind “stable” paychecks to navigating the emotional rollercoaster of entrepreneurship, Trent shares the highs, the lows, and the unexpected lessons of growing a company from the ground up. Spoiler alert: there’s no magic formula - just grit, strategy, and a whole lot of trial and error.
What You’ll Take Away (besides a newfound respect for small business owners):
- The paycheck myth: Why “job security” is often an illusion and how to embrace the risk.
- Scaling smart, not just hard: How relationships, pricing, and strategic growth can make or break your business.
- Why process is everything: The hard-earned lesson that flying by the seat of your pants only works for so long.
If you’re an entrepreneur, a business owner, or just someone who enjoys hearing what really happens behind the scenes of a growing company, this episode is for you.
