About

I spent years working in tech startups—most recently as Operations Director at Forage, a YC-backed edtech acquired in 2024—while running this podcast as a hobby. I now host it full-time, funded primarily through advertising sponsors, with generous early and ongoing support from Tyler Cowen’s Emergent Ventures and Bill Manos and the Manos Foundation.

If you’d like to sponsor the podcast or just say hi, you can reach me at joe@jnwpod.com.

You can also find me at X/Twitter, YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Substack.
