Summary
Chris Paul. Steven Bartlett. The moment before everything almost fell apart. I'm Daniel Lubetzky — founder of KIND Snacks, a Shark Tank investor, and a "confused Mexican Jewish social entrepreneur." I started KIND with one bar and a hundred rejections. Now I'm building the most ambitious project of my life: a podcast about what it actually takes to build something — and the moments almost nobody talks about, when it nearly broke you instead. This is Build or Break. In this series, you’ll see Chris Paul reveal the moment he went into shock. Steven Bartlett, host of Diary of a CEO, open up about his early struggles. Kevin O'Leary on his greatest personal trial. Andrew Yang on living up to the expectations of immigrant parents. Plus Mark Cuban, Kendra Scott, Fareed Zakaria, Jason Alexander, Lucy Aharish, Robert Rodriguez, Jamie Siminoff, Ben Sasse, and Melva Wallace — builders, investors, and leaders who've all faced the same decision: build, or break? https://www.instagram.com/DanielLubetzky https://www.tiktok.com/@daniellubetzky https://x.com/DanielLubetzky https://www.linkedin.com/in/daniellubetzky https://daniellubetzky.com/ Music: Amos Cochran https://www.editscoremusic.com/ Production: Straybird Studios https://www.straybird.studio/ Post Production: Jennell Lewis & Scott Convery Social Media Production: https://www.edits-etc.com/ Build or Break Team: Executive Producer & Host: Daniel Lubetzky Executive Producer: Kristin Schneider Head of Programming & Production: Joel Rubin Marketing & Communications: Sarah Black Associate Producer & Social Media: Taylor Larned Booking & Scheduling: Kayla Rose Network Relations: Julianna Cohen
