The Authentic Grit

Entrepreneurship isn’t all success stories and highlight reels. On The Authentic Grit, hosts Tetyana Karpenko and Thorsten Lederer go deep with founders, creatives, and business leaders to uncover the raw truth behind the hustle.

🎙 Through unfiltered interviews, we explore:

Entrepreneurial burnout, recovery, and mental health
Purpose-driven leadership and navigating identity
Lessons from failure, reinvention, and resilience
The emotional journey behind building something real
If you’re building a life with meaning—not just chasing money—you’re in the right place.

💡 New episodes monthly. For fans of The Diary of a CEO, How I Built This, and those who value depth over hype.
