BLACKIVY PODCASTS

In this episode, we sit down with Evan Jackson, Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree and co-founder of IntusCare, to unpack what it really takes to build a company from the ground up.

From cold-calling a healthcare investor in high school to leaving Brown University to work alongside clinicians before writing a single line of product, Evan shares how curiosity, humility, and a bias toward action shaped the journey behind one of healthcare's fastest-growing startups. We explore the realities of raising capital, building an 80-person team in your twenties, creating a culture people want to be part of, and why listening to customers matters more than falling in love with your idea.

At its core, this conversation is about building with purpose. It's a reminder that great companies aren't born from perfect ideas, they're built by people willing to learn, adapt, and take the first step before they have all the answers.

In this episode, we sit down with Naeche — content creator, storyteller, and curator of a life fully lived — to unpack how documenting the everyday can turn into something much bigger.

From growing up in Southern California to navigating finance in New York, Naeche shares how curiosity, consistency, and a willingness to “just post” shaped her journey into building a platform that now reaches hundreds of thousands. We explore her early days documenting life on YouTube and Snapchat, the viral moment that changed everything, and how she’s evolved from “the Wall Street girl” into something far more expansive.

At the core, this conversation is about ownership — of your story, your path, and your potential. It’s a reminder that the life you’re already living might be more powerful than you think… if you’re willing to share it.

In this episode, we sit down with Franck Germain — filmmaker, screenwriter, and co-founder of WYDYE — to explore the story behind his creative path.

From producing his first musical in high school to building an artist collective rooted in collaboration, Franck shares how community, vulnerability, and a belief in storytelling have shaped his journey. We dive into his time at Harvard, the importance of finding confidence in creativity, and how embracing fear is often the first step toward growth.

At the core, this conversation is about the power of storytelling — not just as an art form, but as a way to connect, reflect, and find meaning in both the extraordinary and the everyday.
