Continuing our epic run of in-person recordings brings us face-to-face with TWO fan favorites of the show in an epic return to form with our Are You Human Series. Kristen Anderson joins me as we pull back the curtain to discover whether Drew Glover (From our episode back in August) is actually a human. 

Drew is a Founding Partner of Fiat Growth and a General Partner at Fiat Ventures. He is no stranger to the world of growth, technology, and marketing. From his time at Steady where he led marketplace development and growth to Namely, Fjord, and Portal A, he navigated the ins and outs of Go-to-Market strategies and user acquisition. He has helped companies like Root, JP Morgan Chase, Adidas and Nike bring award-winning services and partnerships to market.

Remember, you can watch our beautiful faces doing the video show over on YouTube!
