Episode 29 of Your Business Is On the Line features returning guest Sebastian Hiscock (PureLend Co-Founder, creator of SalsaScore) as the hosts riff on SalsaScore, cowboy/Stampede energy, and bringing back “hit” guests and discuss PureLend’s rapid growth and hiring, including what it’s like working the top-of-funnel and the hard-to-test traits of resilience and doing the right thing under pressure.

Philippe and Shubh brainstorm a business idea around simulated, high-stakes crisis scenarios as a hiring stress test ), then Seb pitches “RestJet,” a premium end-to-end travel service where customers are anesthetized, boxed, transported, and wake up in their destination bed.

The guys also detour into inference data centers (GPUs, model hosting/partnerships), space data centers, and pop-culture references. Go watch this movie: The Game (1997).

Brought to you as always in part by the New Network. And we are VERY VERY proud to introduce a brand new sponsor, Center9, our preferred partner for all your Microsoft 365 needs.
