This week, Natasha interviewed Roger Lee, an entrepreneur who's spent the better part of a decade building tools for employees and employers alike. Lee is the creator of Layoffs.FYI and co-founder of Comprehensive and Human Interest.

Here's what we got into:

  • Roger's introduction to entrepreneurship during the dot-com bubble
  • How the pandemic de-stigmatized layoffs
  • How Comprehensive - described as the inverse of Layoffs.FYI - is helping employees level-up
  • The importance of crowdsourcing and to monetize, or not to monetize...transparency
  • We ended, as usual, with a lightning round and learned where Lee's career could have gone if he didn't take the founder path (hint: it's not VC).

Equity drops at 10:00 a.m. PT every Monday and at 7:00 a.m. PT on Wednesdays and Fridays, so subscribe to us on Apple Podcasts, Overcast, Spotify and all the casts.
