For this episode, we partnered with Startup Grind Phoenix to put together a podcast recording in front of a LIVE audience. It's been a long time since we've hosted -- and attended -- in person events, and it was so great to meet some of our listeners in person!
Anything can happen in a live event, especially with the three founders we invited to join us. Hamid talked with three of his good friends: Bob La Loggia, founder of AppointmentPlus; Mike Roberts, founder of SpyFu; and Chris Cardinal, founder of Synapse Studios and CarbonQA.
The guys don't hold back as they discuss unrealized capital gains, NFTs, outer space and the metaverse.

Aly Saxe knows how to succeed, but she also knows how to fail. More importantly, she knows how to get back up. She's weathered the challenges of raising money to make payroll to sexual harassment to calling it quits. Even after having a stroke, Aly ran her company though she barely had any feeling in the right side of her body and couldn't move any part of the left side. Aly's learned that taking care of yourself and your family should always be the priority, no matter what.
In this episode, Hamid talks to Aly about how raising money is actually very hard, how she decided to sunset her company and how she recovered from a massive stroke in her 30s. And Aly turns the tables and interviews Hamid.
