What separates startups that fizzle from those that thrive?


Join us for an episode of The Bliss Business Podcast featuring Bruce Cleveland—founder & CEO of Traction Gap Partners, bestselling author of Traversing the Traction Gap, and the investor behind billion-dollar outcomes like Marketo, C3 AI., Vlocity, a Salesforce Company, and Doximity.

In this conversation, we explore:


✅ Why most companies fail in the go-to-market gap—and how to avoid it

✅ How the Traction Gap Framework helps teams go from MVP to Minimum Viable Company

✅ The role of purpose, culture, and emotional intelligence in building scalable, sustainable businesses

✅ How founders can evolve into high-impact leaders who create enduring value
