The podcast covers their uncut, no-fluff version of their journey to the top, the challenges, pitfalls, and obstacles – the real-life version of the arc of the hero.
The idea is to help the listeners bridge the gap in social media where successful entrepreneurs are put on a pedestal and seem to be surfing on a rainbow, ringing stock exchange bells, and living a distant dream.
Real Life Superpowers is aimed to be a realistic reminder that there’s no such thing as an overnight success and that behind the scenes, every story is complex. The hope is to inspire the listeners to tap into their own superpowers and become the best version of themselves.

E99 - Zohar Bronfman (Co-founder and CEO of Pecan AI)
Dr. Zohar Bronfman - The Limits of Knowing
Dr. Zohar Bronfman is the co-founder and CEO of Pecan AI, a predictive AI company he started with his academic partner Noam Brezis.
Before becoming an entrepreneur, Zohar spent years studying the human mind, earning two PhDs spanning philosophy of mind and computational cognitive neuroscience.
Today, Pecan has raised more than $117 million and is working to make predictive AI accessible to businesses without requiring teams of data scientists.
But this conversation is as much about the limits of intelligence as it is about AI.
Don't outsource the cognitive workout
Zohar uses AI constantly. But there's one thing he deliberately doesn't use it for. Writing.
If he needs to write a strategy document, a memo or simply articulate his thoughts, he writes it himself. Only when he's finished does he run it by AI.
Why? Because convenience has a cost.
"The moment we lose ourselves to convenience, I think it's like not working out in the gym and only driving in the car."
Stop using a cognitive capability and, like a muscle, it deteriorates.
Ignorance protected him
Zohar went directly from academia into entrepreneurship. No corporate career. No experience running an organization. No experience building a go-to-market machine.
"Sometimes you're just too ignorant to understand how deep is the pool."
"I didn't realize how challenging running a company is, and I think that ignorance protected me."
Two kinds of mistakes
The first are mistakes you couldn't reasonably have prevented. Pecan once spent a year building a predictive use case the team believed could become a major part of the business. They researched the market. Interviewed customers and prospects. Studied competitors. Tested the technology and go-to-market assumptions. And they were wrong.
Zohar can live with that kind of mistake.
"We operate in a very high level of uncertainty. By definition, as startups, if we knew what was the right thing, it wouldn't be a startup."
The second kind bothers him much more: mistakes caused by overconfidence. The moments when someone presents another perspective and you don't really listen because you've already decided you're right.
"I knew when the discussion took place that I am not open to entertaining this option."
That's become his warning signal.
What stays after this episode
The more sophisticated our tools for knowing become, the more important it may become to recognize what we don't know.
Not as weakness.
As a condition for learning.

E98 - Naveh Ben Dror (Co-founder and CEO of Spikerz)
Building a Company That Doesn't Depend on You
Naveh Ben Dror is the co-founder and CEO of Spikerz, a startup protecting the social media and digital accounts of brands and public figures from increasingly sophisticated attacks.
Spikerz works with more than 100 customers, including major global brands, athletes and celebrities, and has raised $7 million.
Naveh is 30.
But his education in entrepreneurship started long before Spikerz.
He was born into a company
Naveh grew up with two entrepreneurial parents who built a sports distribution business together.
Business wasn't something that happened at an office.
It happened at home.
At six, he was helping unpack boxes in the warehouse.
Friday night conversations included exchange rates and deals.
His mother went back to work three days after giving birth because the business needed her.
"I grew up into a world where business is part of the family."
The problem that found them
Spikerz didn't begin with three founders sitting in a room trying to invent a startup idea.
Naveh was working in digital marketing when he got a call at 1:00 in the morning.
Someone had taken over the company's account.
Everyone had been kicked out.
Nobody knew what to do.
Naveh called a friend with an intelligence background and asked a simple question:
"How come nobody protects this?"
They assumed somebody did.
Nobody did.
"The ideation phase hit us like a lightning strike."
AI changed the attack
Naveh shares the story of a social media manager at one of the world's largest football clubs.
The attack began with a personalized LinkedIn message from what appeared to be a UEFA recruiter.
The recruiter's profile looked real. The job description matched. The landing page was built specifically for him.
He entered his password.
The attackers reached accounts with more than 70 million followers and used them for a crypto scam.
"You can become a phishing attacker from your bedroom... for fun if you wanted to or just gain a few bucks."
What stays after this episode
Naveh grew up watching entrepreneurship up close. Not the mythology of it. The work. The bad years. The personal price.
Now he's building Spikerz in much the same way. Not by needing to have every answer himself. By learning quickly, bringing the right people together, and trusting the team to get to a better answer than any one person could alone.
Endurance gets you through the difficult parts. But you don't build something meaningful alone.

E97 - Lior Pozin (Co-founder, CEO AutoDS)
Life Is a Game
Lior Pozin built AutoDS into a company with more than 200 employees and over $20M ARR before its acquisition by Fiverr.
Listening to him, it's hard to shake the feeling that AutoDS was never the destination.
It was simply another level in the game.
The kid who questioned everything
Long before AutoDS, before SaaS, before startups, Lior was already looking at the world differently.
His father locked his computer as punishment.
He learned how to unlock it.
He wanted to buy a phone online.
He discovered the exact same phone was being resold for more money.
So he sold it himself-without ever owning inventory.
At 14, he wasn't asking what he was supposed to do.
He was asking: "What's the game?" And then: "Let's just try."
Gamifying life
One sentence quietly explains almost every decision he makes.
"I look at life as a game."
It's not a motivational slogan.
It's a framework.
Games have rules.
Rules can be learned.
Sometimes they can even be bent.
When eBay suspended his account, he didn't see failure.
He saw another move - open another account.
When people warned him something wouldn't work, he didn't hear a verdict.
He heard another hypothesis to test.
That mindset dramatically changes the emotional cost of entrepreneurship.
Failure becomes feedback.
Risk becomes calculated.
And trying becomes more important than being right.
The question that removes fear
Throughout the conversation, Lior comes back to one exercise over and over.
"What's the worst case?"
Not as positive thinking.
As practical thinking.
What's the actual downside?
Will I lose an account?
Waste a year?
Need another job?
Once he answers that honestly, fear loses much of its power.
Because most imagined catastrophes turn out to be survivable.
That question became one of his most useful entrepreneurial tools.
The investment that compounds the most
One of the most interesting moments in the conversation has nothing to do with AutoDS.
It's the way Lior treats personal development.
Every week he protects time with almost religious discipline.
Executive coach. Personal coach. Therapist. Reading. Meditation. Breathwork. Sports.
Those hours are non-negotiable.
His reasoning is remarkably simple:
“If I elevate myself, the business will elevate too”.
Many founders invest first in their company.
Lior invests first in the founder running it.
Building the founder like a product
Lior recently created something unusual:
A personal brand book.
Not because he wants nicer colors or better social media posts.
Because he believes founders deserve the same strategic clarity as companies.
He wants every piece of content, every interview and eventually even his AI assistant to reflect the same person.
Not an optimized version.
The real one.
What stays after this episode:
Lior doesn't describe entrepreneurship as courage.
He describes it as a way of looking at the world.
A constant habit of questioning assumptions.
Of asking "What's the worst that can happen?"
Of refusing to believe that someone else gets to build the future simply because they started first.
Maybe that's why "life is a game" resonates so strongly throughout the conversation.
Not because games are easy.
But because games are meant to be played.
And the people who keep playing long enough eventually discover that most of the limits they believed in were rules they never had to accept in the first place.
