This episode originally aired as the final Heresy podcast, recorded shortly after the winding down of Heresy.io — our sales software startup.

After a last-minute acquisition fell through, we had no choice but to begin closing the company. In this episode, I sit down with my co-founder Svilen and our first hire Jack Otis Barker (frontend engineer) to reflect on the journey:

  • The highs and lows of startup life

  • The things we got right (and wrong)

  • What we’d do differently if we had the chance

  • Why we still wouldn’t trade the experience for anything

We’ve since relaunched the Heresy podcast with a broader focus on scaling, selling, and building in tech — but we’re keeping this episode up as a time capsule of sorts.

💥 It’s raw, it’s real, and it was never meant to be the end.
