Reza, please stop interrupting guests as they’re talking. There are a ton of situations in your podcast where what the guest is about to say is captivating and you ask a question that redirects their statement.
Great, however missing the female founders, only one so far…
Sitting on the Acela with this tool, talking loudly on his phone the entire time about his life story and his book and a movie he’s making. “It speaks to my purpose and why my life story is so unique and compelling.” “It sets up the whole Harvard thing.” “No one else has this story that I have.” Gag me.
If you want to understand the founder mind, this is the podcast. Reza has lived it, studied it, taught it, and it shows in every conversation. Rare clarity on what actually drives founders.
When we live in such challenging times, it’s so important to have resources like this to help young people find hope for the future but also hope for themselves. A great and inspiring listen from two great stars!
