🔥 Founders Talk is back!

Author: Changelog Media June 15, 2018 Duration: 3:09
It's been just shy of 5 years since I've published a new episode to this podcast. The break was planned actually. Long story short, I had to focus. If you want to hear the slightly longer explanation, you should listen.

Behind every successful company, there's a human story that rarely gets told in the headlines. Founders Talk: Startups, CEOs, Leadership from Changelog Media is built on the idea that the real value lies in those unvarnished, personal narratives. Host Adam Stacoviak sits down for extended, thoughtful conversations with the people who have actually built things-founders, CEOs, and makers across the technology and business landscape. This isn't about quick tips or surface-level success stories. Instead, each episode functions as a case study in resilience, peeling back the layers on the specific challenges, pivotal failures, and hard-won lessons that define a leadership journey. You'll hear the nuance behind decisions, the weight of responsibility, and the moments of doubt that precede a breakthrough. By focusing on one guest at a time, the podcast creates space for depth and reflection, moving beyond theory into the practical realities of creating and sustaining a vision. It's for anyone curious about the substance behind the startup myth, whether you're an aspiring entrepreneur, a leader in your own field, or simply fascinated by the psychology of building something meaningful. Tune in for honest dialogues that replace jargon with genuine experience, offering a clearer picture of what innovation and leadership truly demand from the people at the helm.
