Peter Reinhardt co-founded the analytics firm Segment, and built it into a company that sold for $3.2 billion. But before it worked, everything else they tried didn’t. 

In this episode, Peter and his co-founder, Calvin French-Owen, share their humbling story of finding product-market fit: hospital panic attacks, a crisis of faith, and how, with just a few weeks of runway left, they published a Hail Mary concept on Hacker News -- that blew up. It’s a story about how giving up control finally led them to build something people wanted. And forced them to mourn their attachment to vision.

Since then, Peter has only increased his ambitions: he launched another successful company, Charm Industrial, that permanently sequesters carbon underground, and is also the CEO of Revoy, that converts semi-trucks into electric vehicles.
