Entrepreneur, among other things...

“A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, cook a meal, fight efficiently, and die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.”

― Robert A. Heinlein


I talk to the most interesting people we can find in business, finance, science, art, technology, and human improvement and try to learn from them.

  • #125 - Bobby Klinck: Is AI Better Than a Human Lawyer? How Automation is Changing the Legal Game
    Dec 31 2025

    In this episode, we sit down with Bobby Klinck, a Harvard Law graduate and former federal prosecutor who walked away from the "dream career" in Big Law to redefine legal protection for entrepreneurs.

    Bobby shares the dramatic "coffee cup" moment during a Sunday night conference call that pushed him to start his own firm the very next day with no plan, but a clear vision for something better. We dive deep into his transition from high-stakes patent litigation, where he faced off against some of the world's largest law firms, to becoming the CTO of Plainly, a software company leveraging AI to make legal agreements accessible for business owners who "don't know what they don't know.

    Whether you are an aspiring entrepreneur, a legal professional, or curious about how AI is disrupting traditional industries, Bobby’s story offers invaluable lessons on building a business that aligns with your life.

  • #124 - Michael Delisser - Why Do Companies Promote Good Employees to Be Bad Managers?
    Dec 24 2025

    Michael de Lisser has spent over 25 years helping leaders bridge the gap between technical expertise and high-impact leadership. Growing up watching his father coach Fortune 100 executives on communication, Michael realized early on that technical skills might get you promoted, but communication skills are what keep you from getting fired.

    In this episode, Michael breaks down why high-potential employees often struggle when transitioning into management. He explains that companies frequently fail to provide the right tools for leading people, leaving new managers to rely on old habits that no longer serve them. Michael shares his framework for using emotional intelligence and personality tools like Insights Discovery to build self-awareness and leverage team strengths.
