Five years ago, I started this podcast from scratch.

My idea was simple: create a platform to interview the world’s most brilliant scientists and make their genius known to as many people as possible.

Since then, I’ve released nearly 500 episodes, interviewed some of the world’s brightest minds, and gained over 300K subscribers! I never thought it was possible, and I’m incredibly grateful to all of my guests and to every single one of you. Without you, this wouldn’t be possible.

To celebrate this incredible milestone, I’m answering all the questions you left for me across different platforms and reflecting on this journey and the lessons I’ve learned.

P.S. I also share a BIG announcement in this episode, so don’t miss out!
