The Unfinished Product
The Unfinished Product is a podcast about the personal - and often untold - moments that influence founders' and operators' journeys. They may have raised millions or nothing at all, but they’re all doing incredible things that we can all learn from today. We have as much to learn from those who are on the journey as those who have finished it, but most people aren’t telling those stories. I'm here to tell those stories.
