The Second Spring Show

The Show is Second Spring's podcast about what it means to run an independent business in 2026. Not the hustle narrative. Not the scale-at-all-costs playbook. The real stuff: how to build something sustainable, meaningful, and yours.

We talk to founders, makers, and independent professionals who've chosen a different path—people who said no to venture capital, who work four-day weeks, who build for longevity instead of exits. People redefining what success looks like when you're not chasing someone else's metrics.

Each conversation explores the practical realities and philosophical questions of independent work: How do you price your time? When do you say no to growth? What does ownership really mean when AI is part of your process? How do you build a business that supports the life you want, instead of the other way around?
