Startup School Radio

Each week on Startup School Radio, Aaron Harris of Y Combinator sits down with the people building the future. This isn't a lecture series or a theoretical discussion; it's a direct line to the trenches of company building. You'll hear founders and investors recount their real journeys, sharing the unvarnished details that usually stay behind closed doors. The conversations dig into the pivotal moments-the early idea that seemed crazy, the unexpected obstacle that almost sank everything, and the decisions that ultimately shaped their trajectory. This podcast focuses on the operational wisdom gained through experience, offering actionable insights for anyone navigating their own startup path. By listening, you get a sense of the patterns behind success and failure, all through candid stories from those who have lived it. Originally produced for SiriusXM's Business Radio channel in partnership with the Wharton School, the show brings a level of depth and authenticity that comes from long-form, personal interviews. If you're looking for polished, generic advice, you won't find it here. Instead, Startup School Radio delivers the specific, sometimes messy, truths about what it actually takes to grow a company from the ground up. Tune in for a weekly dose of perspective straight from the source.
