<![CDATA[Business In Progress with John Cornwill]]>Business In Progress is a podcast about building companies while you’re still figuring things out.

Hosted by John Cornwill, founder and operator, the show documents real decisions, hard lessons, and honest reflections from inside the journey of entrepreneurship. No fake success stories. No overnight wins. Just the work in progress.

Episodes range from:

  • Builder logs — raw updates on what’s being built, what’s breaking, and what’s changing
  • Solo deep dives — clear thinking on leadership, mental health, fundraising, focus, and growth
  • Conversations — long-form discussions with founders, operators, and thinkers shaping real businesses

This podcast is for people who are:

  • Building something of their own
  • Navigating uncertainty and pressure
  • More interested in judgment than hype
  • Willing to learn in public

If you believe progress is messy, nonlinear, and worth documenting — you’re in the right place.
