Dr. Seth Hollar traces his path from MIT and Lockheed Martin through academia and into founding WISER Systems, a deep tech startup building real-time location tracking with ultra-wideband radio. The conversation explores the valley of death between lab proof of concepts and scalable products, why government grants provide runway but not customers, the three pillars that need to work in tandem for a startup to scale, and why the founders who make it are defined not by a special trait but by drive, hard work, and the ability to be at peace with uncertainty.
David Pisarek shares how getting let go from a hospital led him to found Wow Digital, a digital agency focused exclusively on nonprofits and mission driven organizations. The conversation explores why niching down transformed his business, how quarterly strategic planning across six pillars helps organizations move toward their goals, what makes nonprofit clients different from for profit ones, and how a big hairy audacious goal of improving 100 million lives through digital technology drives his team every day.
Craig Robinson draws on his journey from golden child to C-suite executive to author of The Happiness Reboot to explore why checking all the boxes does not lead to fulfillment. The conversation unpacks the three areas most people avoid examining — career, faith, and relationships — introduces the GEL framework for career alignment, and challenges the scripts we follow on autopilot, arguing that curiosity over conviction and the recognition that 50% of happiness comes from mindset are the first steps toward writing your own path.
Kamil Mansuri traces his path from tinkering with game mods to building large scale systems at Comcast, Take-Two, and Vapor IO, and eventually founding Telepath to solve one of the hardest infrastructure problems in AI voice. The conversation explores why the 150 year old phone network was never designed for machines, how Telepath bridges legacy SIP calls into AI voice agents at scale, why curiosity and adaptability are the most important founder traits, and why shipping fearlessly and embracing feedback is the fastest path to building something great.
