The Podcast

In this episode, we sit down with long-time innovator and founder (and personal friend) Adam Zuckerman. Adam has worked across the full innovation spectrum. He’s been an attorney, startup founder, corporate technologist, and investor. In this episode, he joins Danny to talk about navigating large companies when your role doesn’t fit neatly into a box.

You’ll hear how Adam ended up reporting through IT while scouting startups at CES, how he evaluated tech like blockchain before it was cool, and what happens when you're valuable but unplaceable. It’s a sharp reminder that innovation doesn’t live in job titles. It lives in what you actually do.

This episode shows how to stay relevant, useful, and dangerous inside companies that don’t know what to do with people like you.
