i want to set the stage on sort of a time line for this whole thing, because i do think it's kind of crazy how long it waited before seeing the light of day.

While originally intended as an LP episode, we felt Superhuman would provide the perfect bookend to our “modern enterprise productivity trilogy” following our Zoom and Slack episodes. We hope you enjoy the conversation with Rahul as much as we did, and we’ll see you later this summer for Season 5!
