Not Another CEO Podcast

When was the last time you paused long enough to thank the people who quietly helped you build?

In this special compilation episode, we highlight moments from eleven CEOs who reflected on the investors that shaped their companies’ trajectories, not just through capital, but through conviction, guidance, and belief. These clips reveal how the right investors help founders stay grounded in their mission, navigate uncertainty, and make better decisions during pivotal moments of growth.

Across these stories, one theme stands out: exceptional investors don’t just finance a business, they help founders become better leaders. They open doors, challenge thinking, and offer support that often goes unspoken and uncelebrated. As we head into the holiday season, this episode is an invitation for CEOs to pause, reflect, and acknowledge the people whose partnership made the climb possible.
