I have been inside a few thousand homes in this region. The furnace is why they called. It's almost never what we end up talking about. It is what comes next. Stay or go.
Amanda:Fix it or walk away. Keep going one more year in something that has been hard for three. I know that conversation. I've had it about my own life. Here's the truth.
Amanda:I am good at being the one who is fine. I built a whole company that way. Then, I stood alone in this studio the night it was finished, chest tight, and understood what I had actually built. A room where nobody gets to hide, including me.
Jeff:I had it all. I had the safe career, the title, and a paycheck that showed up every week. I left all that behind to do my own thing. And there were times that I wasn't sure if I made the right call. Everyone that does something like that has those moments.
Jeff:No one talks about it out loud.
Amanda:This is Built Here. Jeff and I sit down every week with people from right here who chose forward when staying still would have been easier. This room is for the version we only tell when the mic is off.
Jeff:These mics are staying on.
Amanda:What it cost, what broke, what we did next. So, if you are carrying something heavy right now, hear me. Somebody from right here has already made it through, and they kept going. Built Here, a Grasshopper original. First episode coming soon.
Amanda:Two mics means one of them is for you. Forward is a way of life.
