That’s the idea behind Crucible Moments from Sequoia Capital. On the podcast, the founders of some of the world’s most notable companies talk about the decisions they confronted, how they navigated making them, and how those decisions ultimately helped shape their company’s legacy. Hosted by Roelof Botha, the managing partner of Sequoia, each episode of the podcast goes in-depth into one company’s story, offering advice and inspiration on navigating those crucible moments we all face.
In season one, which premiered last fall, guests included PayPal founder Max Levchin, Block founder Jack Dorsey, Nvidia founder Jensen Huang, and Eventbrite founder Julia Hartz. Crucible Moments is now back for an exciting second season, with episodes on companies including DoorDash, Dropbox, Robinhood, and more. Listeners will hear from well-known guests like Steve Huffman of Reddit, Frank Slootman of ServiceNow, Steve Chen of YouTube, and the Sequoia partners who work with them like Doug Leone, Pat Grady, Andrew Reed, and Alfred Lin.
Season two of Crucible Moments premieres August 29 with a new episode dropping every two weeks. Subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, or Amazon Music, and listen to the trailer below.
