For this week’s episode we have something fun on deck.  The tables are turned again with my friend John Njoku back as a guest host.  This time, he is also joined by Eliana Konsker, whose many roles include being a producer of the Nick Halaris Show.  Ellie is also a key member of the Metros Capital Team and the founder of Shop Zero, an online platform focused on sustainable, luxury fashion.  

The idea behind this episode was to have a conversation to review the launch of the podcast and explore some of the most interesting ideas that came out of the first batch of Nick Halaris Show episodes.  We had fun discussing everything from Crossfit (again!) to AI and Nvidia to even more crazy stories from Patrick Dykstra’s Happy Minutes to do list.  We also got into some serious discussions about the economic and political environment, public policy challenges of the day, and some of the important life lessons that came out of the conversations with our incredibly talented guests.
