This week, Ben and Carter are joined by Forbes 30 Under 30 recipient Joe Vasquez, co-founder of StartX and The Human Potential, and director of the Runway Incubator and the Michelson Runway Accelerator. We’ll ask him about his experience helping early stage founders to access critical resources needed to build thier companies.

This week, Ben is joined by Purva Gupta, founder and CEO of Lily. We’ve had the oppotunity to follow Purva’s entrepreneurial journey from the very beginning and she has always impressed us with her hustle, as a first-time, non-technical, female, immigrant founder, you could say the deck was stacked against her. She’s never made any excuses and has never slowed down. Hear her story here.

This week, Ben and Carter welcome Eric Eslao, founder and CEO of Défoncé. We’ll chat with him about building a well-designed CPG brand, as well as the challenges of manufacturing products in the cannabis industry.
