The Most Bipartisan Congressman in America

Saison 1 · Épisode 11

mardi 2 décembre 2025 • Durée 54:44

Congressman Mike Lawler holds a seat that no other Republican had held since the year he was born (he is a 39-year-old Republican from deep-blue New York).

The reason he was able to win — and keep — that seat is the same reason he's been ranked one of the most bipartisan members of Congress: he understands the assignment. He knows politics is about persuasion, not purity. It's about talking to people you disagree with and finding areas of agreement so you can make progress.

Join us for our final conversation of the season about Americans' love of flipping off the president, the worst part of campaigning, whether bipartisanship is even a virtue worth aspiring to anymore, what President George W. Bush is proudest of, and why you shouldn’t give up on America just yet.

Silicon Valley’s Most Effective Philanthropist

Saison 1 · Épisode 10

samedi 15 novembre 2025 • Durée 01:13:51

Matt Flannery’s work has uplifted over six million families across a hundred countries.

That’s because Matt is one of the godfathers of microfinance. His creations, Kiva and Branch, have delivered billions of dollars in small loans to some of the most forgotten and overlooked people in the world.

But Matt doesn’t see himself as a philanthropist. In fact, he’s pretty down on the concept of nonprofits altogether.

Join us for a deeply honest conversation about Matt’s religious childhood, how he had over $8,000,000 stolen from him, how his board betrayed him, the strange magic of Bill Clinton, and why Matt keeps on going.

Welcome To Warm Intro

Saison 1 · Épisode 1

mercredi 3 septembre 2025 • Durée 03:47

Hey! This is Chai.

I'm a founder in Silicon Valley and I've spent a third of my life running my company.

In all those years, I found that the only cure for the pain of building something big is talking to others who are doing the same thing. I've been lucky to have a lot of these conversations and I wanted to find a way to bring them to more builders.

That's how we came up with Warm Intro. These are honest conversations with interesting people who are building big things — from entrepreneurs to artists, politicians and chefs.

As you listen, I hope you'll see how these incredible folks think. But I also hope you'll feel a little more seen yourself — less alone as you're out building.

Thank you for listening,
Chai

The Founder Who Helped Startups Raise Over $1 Billion

Saison 1 · Épisode 9

dimanche 2 novembre 2025 • Durée 46:48

Nick Tommarello has probably helped fund more American founders than almost anyone alive.

But Nick’s not a businessman — he’s a founder. That distinction matters a lot to him and it defines everything about him.

See, Nick loves risk and he thrives on uncertainty and chaos. He’s good at helping founders because he literally can’t imagine having a regular job.

Join us for a loose conversation about Nick’s childhood working at his dad’s nightclub, how his dad became a millionaire and went broke over and over, how Nick got congress and President Obama to sign a bill and what Nick wants his tombstone to read.

The Startup Founder Running For Governor Of California

Saison 1 · Épisode 8

samedi 25 octobre 2025 • Durée 01:00:52

Ethan Agarwal is the youngest and strangest candidate running for Governor.

Ethan’s not a politician, he’s a founder. And a very successful one. He grew his first company to $100M in revenue, and then sold it. He then raised $50M for a second company — which he then also sold in 2025

Within months of that exit, he launched a run for governor as a proud capitalist and meritocrat (his words) to restore the entrepreneurial dream of California.

Join us for a freewheelin’ conversation about how what went wrong in CA, Katie Porter’s mashed potato controversy, how Ethan raised millions, and what it takes to succeed as a founder.

The Tech Founder Who Became America’s Best Chocolate Maker

Saison 1 · Épisode 7

samedi 18 octobre 2025 • Durée 01:07:21

Todd Masonis makes the best chocolate in America—but he took an unexpected path to get there.

Todd co-founded a startup with Sean Parker (yes, that Sean Parker from The Social Network). After selling it for over $150 million, he walked away from Silicon Valley to make chocolate in his friend’s garage.

Seventeen years later, that experiment became Dandelion Chocolate—considered by many to be America’s best chocolate maker (not just a chocolatier, mind you).

In this conversation, we talk about:
– Building fast vs. crafting slow
– What makes good chocolate truly good
– Chocolatiers Vs Chocolate Makers
– Why Chai thinks that Dandelion is the "Mike Tyson of chocolate makers"
– Why thinking in centuries, not weeks, might be the secret to building truly big things

If you love stories about craftsmanship, purpose, and the pursuit of excellence—this one’s for you.

The Street Artist Who Took Over An Entire City

Saison 1 · Épisode 6

samedi 11 octobre 2025 • Durée 01:55:52

fnnch is San Francisco's Banksy; the most loved and hated artist in the city.

People who love him believe that he made the city a more joyous, beautiful place to be. His haters think he is an outsider who helped gentrify the city.

One thing is for sure — fnnch is opinionated and controversial. He is also thoughtful, whip-smart and incredibly prolific.

Join us for a whirlwind conversation about the purpose of art, getting death threats for painting honey bears, and how he might just be the Andy Warhol of his generation.

The Founder Helping People Buy Their First Homes

Saison 1 · Épisode 5

jeudi 2 octobre 2025 • Durée 01:07:48

How do you find a mission actually worth spending your life on? Are most startup “mission statements” complete BS?

Niles Lichtenstein wants everyone to own a home and he’s dedicating his career to making it possible.

Niles lost his dad at 13. His mom rented out rooms to make ends meet. As a result, he grew up with a revolving circus of people living in his home, with his family.

Decades later (and after several successful startups) Niles has turned that experience into an incredible company.

Join us for a sentimental conversation about why everyone needs a home (not just a house), how to design a good life and the note that Niles’ dad wrote to him before he passed.

The Founder Reinventing The Global Spice Trade

Saison 1 · Épisode 4

mardi 23 septembre 2025 • Durée 01:16:20

What is the point of a business? Is it exclusively to make money? Or could there be more variables in this equation?

Sana Javeri Kadri is on a mission.

She started a company at 22 to build an entirely new model for one of the oldest trades in the world. Her company, Diaspora Co is building a new Silk Route for spices.

Join us for a wide-ranging conversation about what someone’s pantry tells you about them, the sheer insanity of the modern spice trade and if you were a spice, which one you’d be.

The Youngest 2-Michelin Star Chef In America

Saison 1 · Épisode 3

mardi 16 septembre 2025 • Durée 01:14:17

Harrison Cheney might be the best chef of his generation.

His restaurant (Sons and Daughters) recently earned its second Michelin star and a green star, and Harrison himself won the Michelin Guide’s Young Chef of the Year award. He has worked in some of the world’s greatest kitchens, from Gastrologik to Quince.

And he has done all of this in record time. Harrison is just 32. At 16, he sold his Xbox to work in a fine dining restaurant. In the 16 years since, he has risen to the top of the industry.

Join us for an open conversation about why so many chefs are jerks, how to give feedback in a Michelin-starred kitchen, how to get hired by your favorite chef (or startup), and how to raise kids who aren’t afraid of risks, what to do when you don't know how to pronounce a dish at a nice restaurant and why you should probably order pizza after you have a fancy meal.
