Built Leadership with James Onyks is a podcast about the real, human side of building a business.
Hosted by entrepreneur and marketing agency owner James Onyks, each episode features conversations with business owners, founders, and operators about how they got started, where they are now, and the defining moments that shaped them into leaders.
This isn’t just about success stories. It’s about the risks, setbacks, decisions, leadership challenges, and personal growth behind the business. Guests share what it took to go from starting out to managing teams, carrying responsibility, overcoming obstacles, and building something that lasts.
Because James comes from a marketing background, the conversations also explore how entrepreneurs promote their businesses, find growth opportunities, attract customers, and scale with intention.
Built Leadership is for entrepreneurs, aspiring business owners, and anyone interested in the journey behind leadership with the lessons learned, the pressure endured, and the people founders become along the way.
P.S I have gone through a few name changes and finally settled on this one and I think its perfect!
