In this July 4th special, we’re taking a quick pause from new interviews to celebrate the sparks that launched First Builders. This 20-minute highlight reel brings together some of the most powerful moments from our first month of guests.

You’ll hear:
– Maia Bittner on resilience and scaling post-acquisition
– Nathan Baschez on frameworks, writing, and building in public
– Jason Prestinario on taking on healthcare giants
– Rohini Pandhi on scaling product and platform from the ground up

It’s a short and energizing listen—perfect for a holiday walk or weekend recharge. Thanks for building with us so far—we’re just getting started.
