This week, Maya and Olivia sit down with someone very special — family, super-fan, and one of the most dynamic (yet ridiculously humble) people in the startup game.

Rohan Bedi has built his entire career inside high-growth startups: from leading sales and marketing straight out of uni, to shaping strategy in data & AI, to joining a pre-seed AI startup where he rose to COO. And because “chill” clearly isn’t in his vocabulary, he’s now the CEO of an AI consulting startup — while advising YC-backed Lightdash on GTM operations.

If you’re curious about how to progress quickly in startups, deal with the tough moments, make an impact, and navigate the world of AI — all while seeing what startup life really looks like behind the glossy LinkedIn updates — this episode is for you.
