In this powerhouse episode, Jeff Fenster sits down with serial entrepreneur and founder David Tal — former CEO of Verse.io — to unpack the real truths behind successful startups, leadership, and the future of AI.

From building companies that solve problems you’ve actually lived… to creating company cultures that perform like sports teams, David shares how he scaled, exited, and led with clarity and ownership. They explore the death of five-year business plans, the rise of AI-powered leaders, and what it really takes to build a high-performing company that lasts.

Whether you’re a startup founder, executive, or rising team member, this is the mindset shift you’ve been waiting for.
