For people who build things.
I started the show in 2014 with one question for every guest: how did you actually build this? Hundreds of conversations later, founders, CEOs, investors and operators still tell me what broke, what they got wrong and how they kept going. These days a lot of those conversations turn to AI and what it's changing inside real companies. Listeners in 140+ countries tune in for the honest version.

My career makes more sense backward than it did while I was living it.
I trained in finance and spent my early years in equity research and consulting.
On paper, that looked like the obvious path. Then I discovered I enjoyed asking questions as much as building models.
