About the Show
Honest Conversations With People Building Things
Every week, host Emily Rodriguez sits down with a founder, maker, or creative operator to unpack how they actually work: first customers, pricing mistakes, burnout, breakthroughs, and the habits behind the highlight reel.
Recorded in Lanternline's Room A with a live audience of one very good espresso machine, each episode runs 35–50 minutes and ends with the guest's one piece of advice they'd tattoo on a new founder.
