Gross To Net
Gross to Net is a podcast about what people actually optimize for in business and life and what they're left with after all the costs are tallied. Most business podcasts ask "How did you succeed?" We ask "What did it cost?" Not just money. Time, health, relationships, meaning.
We talk to founders, investors, and operators about the real math: what went in, what came out, and whether they'd make the same tradeoffs again. No highlight reels. No sanitized success stories. Just honest conversations about what you're actually building and why.
Also, we are on a quest to eventually learn the meaning of life.

Ep. 12 - Give Selflessly with Chris Kirby | Gross To Net

I talk with Chris about pivoting from a culinary career into making hummus for farmer's markets, to borrowing money from his dad to build a hummus factory, to shutting down his hummus factory to move in with his copacker.
Ithaca Hummus has lit the world of hummus on fire and Chris hasn't taken any VC money to do it. I love talking to interesting people who have unique stories and world views and Chris Kirby absolutely does not disappoint.
BY THE WAY, Chris just launched Guillermo's Salsa as Founder and CEO alongside Guillermo from Jimmy Kimmel Live! Me and Guillermo share a birthday AND a love of spicy food and the salsa is quite nice.
