In Episode 4, Han and Hitesh talk with Steve Heyman, CEO of SnowOwl, who discovered that true scale comes not from solving impossible problems yourself, but from creating systems where entire teams can tackle them together. 

From writing web servers that handled a billion daily requests to building organizations from 0 to 80 people, Steve shares how he evolved from elite engineer to CEO over 25 years in Silicon Valley. 

In this episode, he reveals why he chose to move beyond individual technical challenges to focus on organizational problem-solving, how he breaks down complex problems into tractable pieces for teams, and his framework for balancing engineering excellence with business reality.
