The Flagship Podcast

Find the door that gets you to people who can take you where money can’t.

Real conversations with people who are actually building, still early, still figuring it out, sharing the version they don’t usually get asked for.

What An Episode Actually Looks Like

01

Unscripted

Recorded in person, not chopped down for time and not scripted in advance.

02

Real Builders

Every guest is someone actually building something right now, early-stage founders, operators a few years ahead, people who still remember exactly what it felt like to not know how.

03

Same Door

Hosted by Braden Owen, who got his own start the same way, one invitation into a room he hadn't earned yet.

A Message From Braden

Before Runway or The Side Door existed, I felt God calling me to build something for young entrepreneurs, long before I knew what it would actually look like. As I prayed for clarity, one thing became obvious fast: the last thing this world needs is another 20-something year old with a microphone trying to give business advice he hasn’t actually earned.

What became clear instead, through prayer and a lot of conversations, is that our job right now isn’t to teach. It’s to connect the successful with the young and hungry. Looking back at my own path, the relationships and the people who poured into me have been the biggest blessing of my life, teaching me what success actually looks like and how to get there in a way that honors God first, without neglecting everything else along the way.

My hope and prayer for this podcast is simple: that every guest blesses you more than they’ve ever blessed me. The goal isn’t just to help you hit your goals. It’s to help you reach what God actually made you for.

Thanks for listening!
