Dragons come in many forms. Some devour profits through employee turnover, taxes, compliance costs, or inefficiency. Others steal time, create stress, and prevent business owners from reaching their full potential.
The Dragon Interview Project is a collection of conversations with entrepreneurs who have faced these dragons and lived to tell the tale. Through their stories, we uncover the lessons, strategies, and insights that helped them overcome obstacles and build stronger businesses.
By preserving these stories, we hope to pass along practical wisdom that helps other business owners tame their own dragons and achieve greater success.
Every business owner faces dragons.
Some take the form of employee turnover, hiring challenges, compliance burdens, taxes, cash flow pressures, or the countless obstacles that threaten growth and profitability. Others are less visible, but no less dangerous.
Over the years, I have heard countless stories from business owners about the challenges they faced and the lessons they learned. What is often missing is a place where those hard-earned lessons are preserved and shared by the people who lived them.
The Dragon Interview Project exists to capture that wisdom.
Each interview adds to a growing collection of real-world experiences, practical insights, and hard-won lessons that may be featured in future publications, helping current and future business owners recognize their dragons, avoid costly mistakes, and build stronger businesses.

For years, Ansley Wallace has listened to business owners share stories of challenges, setbacks, breakthroughs, and success. Again and again, she found that some of the most valuable lessons in business were rarely written down.
The Dragon Interview Project was created to capture those stories and preserve the practical wisdom of entrepreneurs who have faced their own dragons and learned how to overcome them.
By documenting these experiences, Ansley hopes to create a lasting resource that inspires, educates, and benefits future generations of business owners.
