Stories from the trenches
What people don't really tell you about building your business
Inside the peaks, valleys and playbooks of consumer brands
What’s the worst day you’ve ever had at work? Or a “pinch-me” moment you’ll never forget?
How do you keep going on days when it doesn’t feel like that shiny new dream anymore? And what’s your real end game?
In this interview series, our guests go there — sharing the challenges, breakthroughs and lessons they’ve learned while building their businesses and careers.
From navigating rejection and tough negotiations to mentally preparing to pitch investors or adapting to the disruption of AI,
they reveal the hacks, habits, and philosophies that guide their success in work and life.
Each episode, released every Thursday, runs 40-60 minutes, giving listeners a deep dive into their highs, lows and biggest bets.
Each week, audiences have a chance to have their questions answered by guests directly, whether it’s for practical advice or more on what it takes to get where they are.
Guests currently include the CEOs of Warby Parker, Coffee Meets Bagel, “Your Rich BFF,” LARQ and Touchland.
