We're sharing a special preview of the new podcast, What’s Your Problem? from Pushkin Industries.

What’s Your Problem? explains the problems really smart people are trying to solve right now, from creating a drone delivery service to building a car that can truly drive itself. Jacob Goldstein, former host of Planet Money, talks with innovators about the future they’re trying to build – and the problems they have to solve to get there. In this preview, Jacob talks with Ramon van Meer, who is trying to figure out how to grow a niche business (ramps for wiener dogs!) when a pandemic blows up your supply chain.
