#1 Podcast for Gen-Z and first-time founders.
The podcast where I will be interviewing Genz founders, innovators, entrepreneurs, athletes, and much more. From people building hard-tech companies to bringing in political changes.
Throughout my life, I have always loved talking to inspirational people who have followed the unusual path by taking calculated risks and being extremely relentless. I often find myself asking them loads of questions. Recently, I started thinking of recording and sharing such conversations with others I think might find it helpful.
