As protests spread across Iran and the regime intensifies its crackdown, Mosh sits down with Jason Rezaian — former Tehran correspondent and Iranian regime prisoner— to break down what’s really happening inside the country, and why this moment feels different from past waves of unrest.
Rezaian draws on both history and lived experience. His father left Iran for the U.S. before the revolution; Jason returned decades later to cover the country — and was ultimately arrested and held as prisoner for 544 days.
In this conversation, Rezaian explains how Islamic Regime has reached its end date — from economic collapse and internal fractures to a public that increasingly feels it has nothing left to lose. He shares how Iranians still find ways to communicate and organize under extreme censorship, why outside military pressure often strengthens hardliners, and what real support for Iranian civil society could look like.
The episode also looks ahead: how fragile the regime actually is, who could emerge as a credible leader if it falls, and what kind of transition would give Iran its best chance at stability after decades of repression.

Rent is one of the biggest expenses for Americans — and for decades it’s been one of the least rewarding. In this episode, Mosheh sits down with Ankur Jain, CEO of BILT, to break down how his company is trying to flip that equation — and reveals new details about BILT’s newest credit cards launching next month.

Jain explains how BILT has evolved from a simple idea — earning points on rent — into a platform now used in one in four U.S. apartment buildings, connecting rent payments to credit building, neighborhood rewards, and even future homeownership. He walks through how BILT partners with landlords, banks, and local businesses — and what’s changing with its upcoming credit cards designed to make everyday spending, from housing to healthcare, work harder for consumers.

The conversation widens to rising housing costs and how AI and other technologies could reshape the economics of cities. Beyond that, Jain shares his lessons from scaling BILT with a lean team, avoiding early VC pressure, and what founders often get wrong when trying to grow companies. Mosheh and Ankur also get personal about growing up with immigrant parents.
