Ugly Talk

The conversations that didn't make the press release.

For founders who'd rather hear how it went wrong.

What you actually get

Founders, off-script, telling the parts most people edit out.

Most founder podcasts read like polished press releases. This one doesn't. Each episode is a long-form conversation with someone who's built a real company, recorded with the weird, ugly, embarrassing parts left in. The pivots. The fights with co-founders. The months of doubt. The moment they almost gave up and the small thing that changed it.

If you're building something hard, this is the show that makes you feel less alone in it.
