This was a special podcast. Chris Pedregal joined me for the first every LIVE recording of Adriel’s Curious City, hosted at the Founders Friday event in NYC.

Chris is a serial entrepreneur and brilliant product designer. His current company, Socratic, is in the education technology space and has been the top app in the app store in 2017, has raised over $7 million, and is poised to make a dent in how children all over the world learn.

While there were dozens of subjects we didn’t touch on, we did get pretty deep into what it takes to make great products, how to build a company that makes a big, long term impact, and where Chris turns to learn how to be a good CEO.
