Person of Interest

Joseph Blackman hosts Person of Interest, a conversation series that moves beyond the standard business interview. Each episode is built on a simple but powerful premise: the most compelling lessons often come from unexpected places. Rather than focusing solely on conventional metrics of success, the podcast seeks out individuals whose unique paths and personal projects reveal something genuine about creativity, problem-solving, and resilience. You'll hear from founders, artists, engineers, and community organizers-people whose work, whether widely known or quietly impactful, provides a fresh perspective on what it means to build something meaningful. The discussions are meandering and thoughtful, less about extracting tips and more about understanding a person's motivations and the interesting challenges they choose to tackle. Listening feels like sitting in on a great conversation between curious people, where the insights about business and life emerge naturally from the stories told. This podcast offers a quiet space to consider different ways of working and thinking, all through the stories of those quietly getting remarkable things done.
