It's the conversation founders don't get to have anywhere else. Think 60 Minutes, but for entrepreneurs. We sit down with the most interesting people in business and go past the highlight reel, past the pitch, past the polished version they give every other podcast. We go into the mud with them. The 2 a.m. doubts. The bet that almost ended everything. The moment they wanted to quit and didn't. You'll hear from household names like Gary V, Codie Sanchez, Rob Dyrdek, and Tom Bilyeu, and just as often from founders you've never heard of who are building something the world needs to know about. Either way, the goal is the same: a real conversation that makes you laugh, makes you think, and sometimes catches you off guard with how much it makes you feel. This is where the story behind the success finally gets told. This is \"Founder's Story.\"","last_synced_at":"2026-07-19T22:17:12.558200+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/founder-s-story-648906"},"episode":{"title":"He had a 9-Figure Exit (Then Almost Lost It All) | Ep. 412 with Steve Salis CEO of Catalogue.co","slug":"he-had-a-9-figure-exit-then-almost-lost-it-all-ep-412-with-steve-salis-ceo-of-catalogue-co","published_at":"2026-06-26T13:24:29+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/founder-s-story-648906/he-had-a-9-figure-exit-then-almost-lost-it-all-ep-412-with-steve-salis-ceo-of-catalogue-co","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/founder-s-story-648906","url":"https://bleav.com/shows/founders-story/","audio_url":"https://clrtpod.com/m/pscrb.fm/rss/p/mgln.ai/e/1184/afp-969439-injected.calisto.simplecastaudio.com/a7765f3f-02e4-4ded-bca1-01a20b7f82a5/episodes/2f3e5001-9aca-43ef-8f1b-ec8d119b0bc7/audio/128/default.mp3?aid=rss_feed&awCollectionId=a7765f3f-02e4-4ded-bca1-01a20b7f82a5&awEpisodeId=2f3e5001-9aca-43ef-8f1b-ec8d119b0bc7&feed=NVPdHs07","summary":"Daniel Robbins sits down with Steve Salis to unpack the real grind behind building restaurant brands, scaling &pizza to a nine-figure valuation, and surviving the chaos of COVID when his business went from hundreds of millions in revenue to zero. Steve shares how he dropped out of college, moved to New York with no money, opened his first bar during the financial crisis, and later saw an opportunity to reinvent pizza through brand, product, environment, and community. He also breaks down why risk must be quantified, why execution beats ideas, and why endurance may be the most important trait in entrepreneurship.","meta_description":"Daniel Robbins sits down with Steve Salis to unpack the real grind behind building restaurant brands, scaling &pizza to a nine-figure valuation, and survi…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":1970,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/founder-s-story-648906/episodes/he-had-a-9-figure-exit-then-almost-lost-it-all-ep-412-with-steve-salis-ceo-of-catalogue-co/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/founder-s-story-648906/he-had-a-9-figure-exit-then-almost-lost-it-all-ep-412-with-steve-salis-ceo-of-catalogue-co.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
