I had Kareem Amin all wrong. When Clay first crossed my radar, I thought he was too laid-back: no chip on his shoulder, not the hungry founder I expected to win. Clay has since exploded.
Kareem builds from what he calls "a place of wholeness" rathe... more
Tarek Mansour calls himself a paranoid risk manager - the guy who can list 20 ways a hot air balloon will go down before it leaves the ground. Then he bet his entire company on suing its own regulator.

It’s beyond my expectation. This pod reveals enormous amount of wisdom, insights and aspirations from established or scaled founders and CEOs. Each of this episode worth of listening many times to fully digest the context. It’s a lot to contain in one hour. And as a founder, listening to Brian’s Long Strange Trip, is absolutely one of the most refreshing, inspiring and enlightening time during our long strange entrepreneurial trip.
This is my favorite podcast! Obviously this is meant for CEOs/founders but as a VP level operator who reports up to a CEO at a high growth tech company (Sequoia backed!), I listen for insights into how CEOs make decisions so I can in turn be a more effective leader/direct report. I’m sure many other folks are doing the same. Would love more conversations around what CEOs need from their deputies so they can lead more effectively. Either way, I love this podcast and Go Sox!
Great pod
Winning concept - guest calibre is excellent and it’s cool that Brian can relate things back to his personal experience. Lean into the founder access afforded by Sequoia and Brian’s network. Way more interesting to hear from the next generation of legendary founders than from super established companies. Winston episode was the best. Wish the Mati and Anton episodes were two separate episodes
I recently started listening to this podcast and ripped through all of the episodes because of the good content. I do enjoy it a lot and I hope it continues with many other guest speakers. Some feedback, I did feel at times that answers were cut short from the CEOs, and it would be nice to hear their full answer. As well, the questions could be a bit more structured; the free-flow conversation is nice at times, but other times, as a listener, I’d prefer to hear as much useful information as poss... more
