What does it *really* take to build something from scratch?

In this episode of *From Draft to Dollars*, I sit down with Jonas a founder, strategist, and full-time visionary, for a raw conversation about what it costs to bet on a creative vision that might never “make it.”

We talk:

* How to tell the difference between **vision and delusion**

* The emotional cost of building before anyone else believes

* **Risk vs reward** when the payoff could take years

* Balancing what you love vs what people actually want

If you’re a creative, founder, or builder trying to make something out of nothing, this one’s for you. No easy answers. Just real talk from someone in the arena.
