Before the official launch of Forge Fire Protocol, co-founders Don, Mike, and Steve come together for an unfiltered conversation that dives deep into entrepreneurial philosophy and the real challenges of building a profitable business. This is the story behind the Forge Fire Protocol: the frustrations of watching entrepreneurs struggle in isolation, the hard-won lessons from failures, and the pivotal moment when three founders decided to forge a new path.

Don shares the systems and frameworks from his book and his journey of starting 9 companies—including one that soared to an eight-figure valuation in under a year. Mike brings 25 years of IT executive experience, a passion for building technology businesses, and a proven record of making companies stronger, including 17 years running a successful tech firm. Steve offers a unique perspective shaped by his banking background and a life-changing battle with a terminal diagnosis, reminding us that every decision matters—there is no tomorrow, only today.

Together, they reveal the philosophy driving Forge Fire Protocol: entrepreneurs don't need another generic playbook—they need a protocol forged from real experience, real risk, and real stakes with an exit value design. Get an exclusive first look at what's ahead, including the frameworks that take you from validatd ideal to exit. Whether you're launching your first venture or scaling your business toward a meaningful exit, this show is built for entrepreneurs at every stage.
