Built It. Broke It. Fixed It.
About Built It. Broke It. Fixed It.
So many podcasts focus only on success, but sometimes we learn more from mistakes, failures, and the difficult moments along the way.
Built It. Broke It. Fixed It. is a relaxed podcast about the real side of business, life and everything that comes with trying to build something. Hosted by Chris Carroll, Vladeta Radovanovic and Anthony Leung, this podcast looks at what running a business is really like behind the scenes. Not the polished version.
With over 25 years of combined business experience, they've been through it all, the highs, the lows, building teams, creating culture, defining USPs, marketing, scaling up and everything in between.
Coming from different business and cultural backgrounds, it feels more like sitting down in a coffee shop for an honest chat than a corporate interview. There's humour, different opinions, real stories and plenty of moments most business owners will relate to. We want to keep it lighthearted, but the messages are real.
We talk about the real issues, employing people, leadership, growth, mistakes, failures, setbacks and the things that don't always get spoken about. The aim is simple, to remind you that you are not alone and to keep going.
Because sometimes you build it, sometimes you break it, and sometimes fixing it is where the real growth happens.

The Client Breakup: How to Know When It's Time
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, Chris, Vlad and Ant answer a question from one of our listeners, one we're pretty sure every single one of you has run into at some point: when is it time to let a client go?
Because every founder has that one client. The one who drains your team, disrespects your time, haggles every invoice, and somehow still expects miracles. You built the relationship; it broke somewhere along the way, and now you're wondering whether it's fixable or if it's time to walk away.
So we get into the unwelcome truth: keeping the wrong client costs you more than losing them. We cover the warning signs it's gone past repair, how to tell a rough patch from a real red flag, and how to actually let a client go without torching your reputation.
Hope we did a good job.
