The Podcast

Why you should watch it ☝️

When you win Best of Show at CES three times, you’d think that it’s all downhill from there. But Jeremy proves that the wins can keep coming. He’s been breaking things to build better ones since before most founders had an email address. He’s launched companies, shipped products, and pissed off his fair share of executives along the way. In this episode, Jeremy shares the inside story of building Augie, what it means to be a founder at 50, and why chasing "perfect" can kill momentum.

If you’ve ever wondered what really changes when you launch later in life, or how to build for users instead of pitch decks, this conversation is for you. It's sharp, practical, and delivered with a kind of dry clarity that only comes from experience. Jeremy has no filter, calls out nonsense when he sees it, and delivers his take with the kind of wit that makes you smirk more than laugh.

Still think innovation slows down with age? Jeremy’s work says otherwise. His CES-winning products were built to solve real problems, and that same mindset is baked into everything he’s built since.

Here’s a teaser…

BTW, if Augie sounds familiar, you might remember it from one of our earliest episodes featuring Jeremy’s co-founder, JT.
