Ask Dodge #1. Why Most Businesses Don’t Survive

Ask Dodge #1. Why Most Businesses Don’t Survive

Author: Dodge Woodall April 10, 2026 Duration: 40:24

Every Friday Dodge gets interviewed by Co-Host Mark Masters (You Are The Media)


This chat is all about what it looks and feels like to start something from absolutely nothing, why so many people sit on ideas for years and never act on them, and why naivety and curiosity are more powerful than any business plan.


Dodge talks about the reality of entrepreneurship, the pressure, the sleepless nights, the people who quietly want you to fail and why doing your homework, and just being yourself is what separates the ones who make it from the ones who don't.

Dodge Woodall hosts Eventful Lives, a podcast built on the simple premise that everyone has a remarkable story if you know where to look. Since launching in 2020, he’s sat down with over 350 guests from an incredibly wide spectrum of life, creating a unique blend of conversation that spans business, culture, and true crime. One episode might feature a music legend recounting life on the road, while the next delves into the mindset of a former SAS soldier or the gritty realities shared by someone from the criminal underworld. This variety is the show's signature, offering listeners unexpected connections between the worlds of elite entrepreneurship, high-stakes sports, health, and nightlife promotion. The conversations are less about formal interviews and more about uncovering the pivotal moments-the events, decisions, and turning points-that truly define these fascinating lives. With a global audience tuning in from 187 countries, this podcast has found a dedicated following by consistently delivering raw, human stories you won't hear anywhere else. It’s a place where the drive to build a business empire and the lessons from a life on the edge are given equal weight, all through Dodge’s engaging and curious perspective.
