Where to Find Josh and How He Can Help

Listen now: Spotify, Apple and YouTube

What happens when a creative side project starts to gain traction—but the founders have different ideas about how far to take it?

In this unusually raw episode of Supra Insider, Marc and Ben invite their longtime friend and coach Josh Herzig-Marx to facilitate a live coaching session—on the podcast. Together, they explore the tension between friendship and business, how to manage an unequal split in effort, and whether to go “all in” on Insider Loops or preserve what’s already working.

This episode is for anyone navigating high-stakes collaborations, co-founder relationships, or creative projects that start as fun, but might be worth so much more.

Expect vulnerability, laughter, some hard truths, and surprisingly actionable advice on alignment, contribution, and staying friends while building together.

All episodes of the podcast are also available on Spotify, Apple and YouTube.
