  Brett Alexander Hurt | Beyond The Known Podcast #38

  Sep 26, 20261h 24mS1

  Brett Hurt started coding at 7, built bulletin board systems at 10, and went on to found six companies including Coremetrics, Bazaarvoice, and data.world. But at 50, something shifted — and the serial entrepreneur turned his attention from systems to the soul. In this episode, Jitesh Vaswani talks with Brett Hurt about his USA Today bestselling book Love Conquers Fear, the terrifying math behind nuclear weapons, and why the most important code humanity will ever rewrite is its own. Equal parts entrepreneurship, philosophy, and spiritual reckoning — this one will stay with you.

  The Voice Inside You Is Still There. You Just Stopped Listening | Jitesh Vaswani

  Jun 12, 202617 minS2

  After days of meditating 10 to 12 hours a day on a silent retreat, Jitesh Vaswani came home with a letter he had written to himself from a place of deep clarity. In this solo episode, he reads it aloud for the first time. He unpacks two of its most powerful lines, tracing them back to old heartbreak, unconscious people-pleasing, and a quiet but profound realization about what winning on a spiritual path actually looks like. If you have ever felt behind, burnt out, or like your inner voice has gone quiet, this one was made for you.
