Description
"failing" is a normal part of building, especially when you're at the frontier of great innovation.
so i sit down with founders and investors and get into the messy version of their story: the pivots, the near-misses, mistakes and everything usually edited out.
and i break down jargon and deep dives into the things nobody explains properly.
