This is why I love the How I Built This podcast. It tells the story of a successful founder from childhood to present day. It discusses early successes and failures that ultimately led to that person becoming an "overnight success" decades later. It doesn't try to build this narrative of them being one-hit wonders, it tells the truth. The truth, which isn't nearly as sexy as people would like, is that building a business takes time, hard work, and resilience.

And even then, their messier version of the truth is cleaned up for a lot of the stories.
