Built Different goes beyond the success story of Founders and CEO's to uncover what it actually takes to build something extraordinary. Hosted by Ian Schwartzman, each episode sits down with influential founders, CEOs, investors, and cultural leaders to explore the decisions, risks, failures, pivots, and defining moments that shaped their careers and businesses. From billion-dollar brands and disruptive startups to media empires and cultural movements, Built Different examines not only what successful people built, but how they think, what they survived, and what they learned when things didn't go according to plan. These are candid conversations about business, ambition, money, leadership, resilience, and the moments that change everything. Because the most interesting part of success isn't the outcome. It's what it took to get there.
