38 min - People First w/ Jesse Jones | Ep. 203
This week on Biz/Dev, we sit down with Jesse Jones, founder of Fourscore Law, for a conversation every new business owner should hear.
Jesse breaks down the legal essentials in a way that actually makes sense — the practical steps founders can take to protect themselves before the stress hits. But he also lets us in on something deeper: the future he’s building and why taking care of his people is the foundation of it.
It’s a grounded, generous conversation about risk, leadership, and what it really takes to build a business that lasts.

38 min - Communications Hopscotch w/ Khaner Walker | Ep. 202
This week we’re joined by Khaner Walker, Founder and CEO of ArcSense Communications — a builder who’s grown two companies by understanding something most brands miss: people can tell when you’re faking it.
Khaner digs into the real work behind positioning your brand, the part that happens before the messaging decks and taglines.
We talk about showing up as your actual voice, why authenticity lands better than polish, and what it takes to build a brand people trust instead of one that just sounds good on paper.

24 min - Forged in Fire w/ Jon Gamble | Ep. 201
This week we’re joined by Jon Gamble, Co-Founder and CTO of Fordje — and the sole developer taking on one of the biggest pain points in construction. Jon’s building the AI platform that finally makes sense of the country’s building codes, cutting through the delays and roadblocks that cost developers billions every year.
Jon’s the kind of founder who cares about the real problem underneath the noise.
We talk about the grind of being a one-person engineering team, the weight of fixing an issue everyone overlooks, and what drives someone to take on a challenge this big.

For our 200th episode, we’re getting reflective—and who better to join us than Ryan O’Donnell, Co-Founder and CEO of Sunlight, a company rewriting what social justice looks like in action.

In this milestone episode, we talk about what really holds a founder community together: shared values, hard questions, and people who show up again and again—especially when things get messy.
