Founder's Story

Daniel Robbins talks with retired pharmacist turned author Chuck Knueve about the long, brutal road to diagnosing his son with Cushing’s disease and why he wrote Surviving Cushing’s Disease: A Young Man’s Journey at 73. Chuck explains how the condition mimics common illnesses, why testing happens too late, and how a 20-year delay can leave permanent damage even after treatment. He shares the practical red flags, why families must advocate hard, and the moment he chose to tell the story so others can get an earlier diagnosis.

Daniel Robbins sits down with Daniel Lubetzky, founder of KIND and Shark Tank investor, for a raw conversation about fear, identity, and what it means to build instead of destroy. Daniel shares how being the child of a Holocaust survivor wired him for existential worry and pushed him to collect skills so he would not be “expendable,” plus why magic and languages shaped his ability to lead. He breaks down the real reason KIND became a juggernaut, product, culture, and “AND thinking,” and he offers a practical framework for living through chaos: be a builder with curiosity, compassion, creativity, and courage.

Daniel Robbins sits down with Sam Tabar, CEO of WhiteFiber (Nasdaq: WYFI) and Bit Digital (Nasdaq: BTBT), to unpack how he keeps spotting wave-level technologies before they become mainstream. Sam shares how growing up in a lower-income household fueled a primal drive to create security, why he sees technology as “a proxy for magic,” and how Bitcoin’s evolution mirrors the early internet. They break down Bitcoin as a store of value, Ethereum as programmable money, why AI infrastructure will be a defining business of the decade, and the one thing Sam fears most: loss of freedom through AI-enabled control.

Daniel Robbins sits down with television legend Maury Povich to go beyond the catchphrase and unpack what the Maury era actually built: the blueprint for modern reality TV and viral culture before the internet existed. Maury shares why “you are the father” became a badge of honor, how his team never got faked on air, why Rikki Lake forced daytime talk to evolve, and why AI is now creating content so real it fooled his own family. They also dive into love, aging, Montana solitude, comedians as cultural mirrors, and the unlimited possibility moment that launched his entire national career.

Daniel Robbins sits down with bestselling author Nir Eyal to unpack why limiting beliefs feel like facts and how they quietly drive anxiety, procrastination, and self sabotage. Nir explains the difference between facts, faith, and beliefs, why the brain is wired for safety not flourishing, and how labels can become limits that shape behavior and even biology. They walk through Daniel’s real time spiral around business uncertainty, and Nir teaches a practical method to catch the fear early and replace it with a more useful belief tool.

Daniel Robbins sits down with David Walsh, founder and CEO of Limelight, to break down the rise of B2B creator partnerships and why LinkedIn is becoming the highest leverage channel for founders and brands. David shares how building in public drove roughly 90 percent of Limelight’s revenue, why most creators price wrong because LinkedIn is still the wild west, and what brands actually want from creators right now. They also go deep on marketplace cold start, why top of funnel storytelling matters more than selling, and how Limelight aims to become the system of record for B2B creator programs.
