  • David just nails it

    David just nails it. As great of a CEO as he is, he might just be a better podcast host. He asks thoughtful questions, steers the conversation beautifully, and I learn something every time I listen. It’s been so much fun watching this podcast grow!

  • How do you evolve?

    Loved the framework for how do you evolve. Mindset required. A leader needs to have strong convictions but be ready to let go if /when new info comes along. Proactively seek out new info ALL the time…read voraciously, talk to customers, peers, network, direct reports, etc. be a sponge. High impact podcast David. Keep em coming!

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Not Taking Money Off the Table Can Cost You Everything - Ra’anan Cohen - Bringg & MobileMax (#95)
Q: First question, what is the one thing that you did, big or small, at your companies that had the biggest impact, and you would do again if you're CEO of another company in the future?
Ra'anan emphasizes that building the team and selecting for grit, attitude, and long-term persistence is the biggest impact driver; as he explains, you need people who can push through pain, maintain positivity, and treat crises as marathon moments rather than one-off wins.
Knew each other for 2 hours before We Co-Founded - Erica Jain - Healthie - Episode #94
Q: What is the one thing you've done at Healthie that had the biggest impact and you would do again as CEO elsewhere?
A customer-first mindset across the organization, ensuring every interaction with customers informs the product and company decisions, and making the roadmap public to customers to maintain transparency and trust.
Burned Bridges, No Retreats - Shaun Abrahamson - Third Sphere - Episode #91
Q: What is the one thing you look for in founders and companies you invest in?
Founders who demonstrate high optionality and a clear, unwavering commitment to their mission, even in the face of hard choices, are most compelling; they show resilience where others might give up.
Data-Driven Predictions - Vanja Josifovski - Kumo - Episode #87
Q: What drives you to continue building your company?
The sense of accomplishment from overcoming challenges and progressing, similar to the thrill of skiing despite the difficulties.
Data-Driven Predictions - Vanja Josifovski - Kumo - Episode #87
Q: How did you acquire your first customers?
Initially through personal networks, but it's important to ensure your sales team can convey the product's benefits independently of the founder's connections.
