Family milestones, founder struggles, and the unsettling revelations reshaping public trust.

George and Col reflect on a week that blended family connection, business clarity, and the heavy weight of national news. They open with President’s Day banter and a detour into New Jersey coffee culture before shifting into what truly shaped their week: a family‑filled stretch that included a trip to New Hampshire, milestone celebrations, and the grounding comfort of time with loved ones.

On the business front, George shares how launching a new early‑stage product unexpectedly sparked demand from later‑stage clients, revealing how momentum often comes from simply taking the next step. But the conversation also turns somber as he describes the difficult, deeply human conversations he’s having with founders navigating a brutal market.

Col brings her own intensity, unpacking her emotional response to the Epstein files, the addictive pull of social media, and the tension between staying informed and staying regulated. Together, they explore how to stay compassionate, direct, and grounded in a world that feels increasingly chaotic.

In this episode, George and Col discuss family life, startup advisory, founder challenges, social media addiction, public accountability, political news, personal reflection, podcast conversation.
