Becoming the Blueprint
Becoming the Blueprint is a founder’s journal about building the business, becoming the leader, and creating a life big enough to hold both.
Hosted by entrepreneur and educator Kimberly I. Houston, the show goes behind the finished product to explore what it actually looks like to build something from the ground up. The decisions. The pivots. The ideas that work. The ones that absolutely do not. The systems that create freedom. And the identity shifts required when the business you're building asks you to become someone you haven't been before.
Drawing from her experience across entrepreneurship, education, leadership, and the baking industry, Kimberly shares what she's learning in real time as she builds companies, develops educational products, navigates growth, and figures out what deserves her time, attention, and ambition.
This isn't a podcast about having the blueprint.
It's about becoming it.
