Why I Listen
Podcasts give me access to long-form thinking from operators, investors, builders, and writers I would otherwise never meet. The good ones compress decades of judgment into a few hours of conversation.
How I Choose Shows
I follow people, not shows. If a host asks better questions than the room, I keep coming back. I drop shows that drift into news, ad reads, and recycled takes.
How I Listen
I listen at 1.3x on walks, at the gym, and on long drives. When something lands I stop, replay it, and write down the sentence in plain English. The note is the asset, not the listen.
What I Look For
Specifics over abstractions. Lived experience over commentary. Distinctions that change how I would act next time. The best episodes survive a re-listen six months later.
Where to Go Next
Start with the curated picks on the podcasts page. The "Must Listen" badge marks the episodes I keep returning to.
