  Aug 4, 202655 min

  In this episode of The Further, Faster Podcast, Jeff Becker sits down with Alex Konrad, founder of Upstarts Media and former Forbes Senior Editor—where he created the Cloud 100, edited the Midas List, and earned accolades as a top tech journalist. Having spent over a decade interviewing iconic leaders like Eric Yuan of Zoom, Melanie Perkins of Canva, and Sam Altman, Alex recently made the leap from reporter to first-time founder. Sitting on the other side of the table, he offers a unique look at the founder mindset shift, explaining why accepting that "by default, nobody cares about your startup" is actually a superpower.
