Founder & CEO at Free Agency | Host of The Feedback Loop, Three Course Founders, & The Sherveen Show
It's time for Episode 001 of something new! Super excited to finally release Three Course Founders, and the first episode is with my friend, Matt Harris. Three Course Founders is a startup podcast featuring deeper, nerdier, and more honest conversations about what's being built, why, and how. It's inspired by Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, where it's practitioner to practitioner (founder to founder, in this case), recorded on location in restaurants, breaking the bounds of how this type of content is normally produced. This first episode was filmed almost entirely at our old offices, but future episodes are inside NYC restaurants or other "out in the world" locations. Over three 'courses,' I dive in with founders in tech across their novel market insights, mutual founder therapy over the 'tough stuff,' and strengths + weaknesses fueled by conversations I have with their founder friends. I'm tired of the hearing the same anecdotes from the same people recording them from the same podcast studios. And I think founders are tired of it, too. So, if you're a startup founder, operator, or nerd, this is my love letter to you. I hope my curiosity intrigues you, and I invite you to dive into the nuance with me. With that, this first conversation with Matt is a fun one -- we cover everything from what VCs get wrong in certain parts of fintech to the unique psychological challenges of building a venture-scale business. We challenge each other about burnout and Matt tells us about the world of modern credit, lending, and underwriting. If you don't know him, he's the founder of Bloom Credit, and now serves as an executive coach and advisor to dozens of early stage startups trying to change the way the earth spins. Links will be down below. New episodes every Thursday. Hope you love it.
