What's Your Why Podcast
Built on curiosity. Hosted by Colby Shaw.
What's Your Why is a long-form interview podcast, exploring the deeper motivation behind ambitious people.
Most success stories stop at the what and the how. This show goes further
— into the why. The formative moments. The struggle. The meaning behind
the work.
Every week Colby sits down with founders, athletes
and creators for the kind of conversation you won't hear anywhere else:
real, founder-to-founder, no script.
If you're building something — or trying to figure out why you should be
— this is your show.
New episodes every Monday 7am.
