About MikeyG
The person behind the work.
I’m MikeyG. I want to know what makes people build.
The first idea. The uncertain decisions. The reasons they keep going. That’s what I explore in conversations with founders and builders.
The technology changes. The reason people build usually starts much earlier.
I host long conversations with founders, builders, operators, creators, and people trying to make something real.
The product matters. The company matters. Both make more sense once you understand the childhood, failures, choices, and convictions behind them.
So we go back before we talk about what comes next.
The useful part starts when the polished answer runs out.
A longer conversation creates room for a more specific story.
One conversation. Three directions.
The structure is clear enough to hold the story and loose enough to let something real happen.
What changed them?
The failures, tradeoffs, and moments that made the polished answer possible.
What are they building now?
The technology, conviction, and unanswered question pulling the next chapter forward.
What the show protects
The backstory makes the company story more specific, believable, and human.
If a big idea matters, we ask what it looked like in practice.
The format has a spine, not a script.
No promise of virality or a reputation outcome. Just an honest public conversation.
Meet the show through a story.
