Thomas Hajduk was told “no” 73 times before hearing a single “yes.”
In this episode, we dive into the emotional, creative, and gritty reality of launching a startup from scratch — without AI, without shortcuts, and without instant success.

Thomas — founder of Natura Pine and branding expert behind companies like Starforge, Mythic Talent, and MadMushroom — shares his entrepreneurial highs and lows, including selling 800+ units with almost no marketing, navigating ADHD in business, and finding peace with his younger self.

We explore identity, resilience, childhood rebellion, Polish-American work ethic, executive presence, and even snakes, skydiving, and flavored toothpicks.

If you're building something from nothing, this one’s for you.
