Where Creative Spark Meets Relentless Grit

Every founder knows passion gets you started—but persistence keeps you standing. Building something from nothing takes more than talent or luck. It takes clarity about why you do it and courage to keep going when the results take longer than expected.

Andrew Oliver built 4th Write Records from his love of music, film, and storytelling. What started as a touring band evolved into a full creative studio producing original entertainment—including his latest film, Paperweight, now streaming on Amazon Prime. Through years of trial, risk, and self-funding, Andrew discovered how to scale his business twenty times faster without losing the creative spark that started it all. From a failed software experiment to a thriving film studio, his journey proves that growth comes from resilience and curiosity—not shortcuts.

Founders often forget that creativity and business aren’t opposites—they fuel each other. Andrew’s story is a reminder that when you stay true to your purpose, persistence becomes easier and progress becomes inevitable. The key isn’t chasing perfection—it’s showing up, again and again, for what you believe in.

This episode is for every founder who’s ever wondered if passion alone can build something real. It can—when it’s paired with persistence, purpose, and belief in your own story.
