Jen Poyant was winning at New York Public Radio. She was Executive Producer of WNYC Studios and launched the hit shows "2 Dope Queens" and "Note to Self". After the institution fell into its own #MeToo scandal and mismanagement the simmering burn to work for herself only became hotter. So like all good start-up founders, Jen and "Note To Self" host Manoush Zomorodi met at Le Pain Quotidian and plotted the launch of their company Stable Genius Productions. They received a grant made of cryptocurrency and quickly entered the universe of Blockchain and there was no turning back. Jen and Manoush's podcast Zig Zag documents this journey. Season 2 launches October 11th. We talk to Jen about what she's learned since the leap and how her need to surf was part of the deal when launching this new endeavor.
