YOUR STORY
DESERVES TO
BE HEARD.
Founders Journey is a long-form podcast built around one premise: the most important stories in business are the ones that never make the press release. Every week, host Jimmy Douloumbakas sits down with founders and leaders to go beneath the surface, past the metrics and milestones, to the choices, turning points, and hard-won wisdom that actually shaped the path.
BUILT FOR REAL
CONVERSATIONS
Founders Journey isn't an interview show. It's a storytelling platform. Each episode follows the arc of a life in business, from the early instincts that set a path, through the setbacks and reinventions, to what the guest knows now that they couldn't have known at the start.
Long-Form. No Soundbites.
Each conversation runs 45 to 60 minutes. There's no highlight reel format, no rapid-fire questions. The time is there to go somewhere real, which means guests consistently share things they've never said publicly.
Story-First, Not Metrics-First
Jimmy doesn't ask about your revenue or your raise. He asks about the moment you almost quit, the decision that changed everything, the thing nobody saw coming. The result is a conversation that sticks long after the episode ends.
Editorially Independent
No scripts. No pre-approved questions sent in advance. Guests are prepped for direction, not content, because the best conversations aren't managed, they're discovered.
Professionally Produced
Every episode is edited, mixed, and distributed across all major platforms, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube, and all social channels. Your conversation is treated like the asset it is.

Your Host
JIMMY
DOULOUMBAKAS
Jimmy is a serial entrepreneur with over a decade of experience building businesses across real estate, events, and media. He's closed over 10,000 real estate signings, produced 500+ global events, and sat across the table from enough founders to know what questions actually matter.
He doesn't come to these conversations as a journalist. He comes as someone who's lived the same uncertainty, made the same kinds of bets, and kept building anyway. That shared experience is what makes guests open up in ways they don't elsewhere.
"I don't want to know what you built. I want to know what building it did to you, and what you'd tell yourself on day one if you could go back."
