Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:15):
Pushkin. I'm Jacob Goldstein. I used to host Planet Money.
Now I'm starting a new show. It's called What's Your Problem.
It's a show about technology and business where entrepreneurs and
engineers talk about the frontier problems they're trying to solve.

(00:36):
Right now, I'm talking to people who get up every
day and try to figure out how to do something
that nobody on Earth knows how to do. How do
you take a drone delivery service that you've built in
Rwanda and make it work in North Carolina. Our customers,

no matter what, hundreds of times a day. How do

(00:59):
you start with a dream of turning single cells into
tiny factories and wind up with a ten billion dollar company.
We didn't have a particular technology, we have a business model,
We didn't have a way of making money, all right,
it was a great way to start a company. Highly recommend.

We're working with four hundred influencers and the majority of
them are actually not a person, but it's actually a dog.
And some of them have over a million followers. I
can tell you right now, the weener dog ramp Guy
is working on some very interesting problems. The show is

(01:43):
called What's Your Problem, and it launches on March seventeenth.
