The next chapter in the rollercoaster of starting a company
When I listened to the first season of Start Up, where Alex Bloomberg takes us on the emotional journey of starting his own company, I got invested in the future of Gimlet Media--maybe you did too. Since then, Alex has popped into the Start Up feed with some updates on how Gimlet is doing. I listen to a lot of Gimlet podcasts, and am a general fan, but the narrative I'm most attached to, is the aches and pains of the growth of Gimlet. I search for clues in other podcasts. Reply All has had a bunch of seasons, oh great. I see they nixed that other series, must have been struggling. Here, with Without Fail, we get the most satisfying psychological insight into the issues Alex and the leaders of Gimlet are chewing on since that first visceral season of Start Up. Where are those inflection points when a rapidly successful company might tank? How does the charismatic founder end up fired? And when your company becomes your whole life, is it all really worth it? If you like a good story with some nuggets to really reflect on, this seems promising.Read full review »

From the beginning, I’ve appreciated Alex and his willingness to peel back the curtain and share emotions, fears, and vulnerabilities. This podcast is more of that vibe, with some fresh perspectives and behind the scenes candor to add to the sharing.
