The Hardest Thing
Success rarely comes from a single breakthrough. It comes from navigating the moments that almost made you quit. On The Hardest Thing, Kris Priemer sits down with founders, investors, creators, athletes, artists, and business leaders to uncover the defining moments behind their success. Together, they explore the hardest decisions, biggest setbacks, unexpected opportunities, and lessons that shaped their careers and lives. These aren’t interviews about polished success stories. They’re conversations about uncertainty, resilience, leadership, and what it really takes to build something meaningful. Whether you’re building a company, pursuing a creative passion, leading a team, or simply looking for inspiration to take your next step, each episode offers practical insights and honest stories from people who’ve been there. Because behind every great accomplishment was the hardest thing.
