Not the op but: Gimlet is very good at creating well put together and edited stories. That seasons is very human and dives headlong into the painful (and beautiful) parts of slowly grinding and iterating toward failure. Failure from an investor perspective at least, it ends up being a non-scalable, labor intensive lifestyle business that loads of people would be proud to have built.

It was the opposite of the YC podcast: I'm a human that grew up, I went to college X, Applied to YC, Tried X, Y but Z is the one that worked. Company is great we raised money.



Yup. We definitely will cover more than YC companies and success stories.

Fwiw, I do like the success stories but prefer a longer interview (90 min+) because you get a real sense of the person vs the PR version of them/their company.


It would be great if you got graycat to spill the beans about his website.


Yes, wwalser articulated this much better than me.
