What does it take to keep building when quitting would have been easier?

In the first episode of The Founders Backroom, hosts Jon Biddle and Philip Agyeman-Budu sit down with Michaela, founder of Rent Montana and other growing businesses.

Michaela opens up about facing addiction at an early age, going to rehab at 16, carrying the weight of other people’s opinions, and discovering that some of the people around her expected—or even wanted—her to fail.

This is not just a conversation about business success.

It is a conversation about becoming the person capable of building something meaningful.

Inside this episode:

Michaela’s early experience with addiction and recovery
Why quitting would have been the easier choice
The pressure of being judged and underestimated
How personal transformation affects business growth
Building successful companies without seeking the spotlight
Why no problem is truly unsolvable
The resilience, faith, and mindset behind entrepreneurship

The Founders Backroom goes beyond revenue, recognition, and polished success stories to uncover the personal battles, sacrifices, decisions, and transformations behind the businesses people see.
