About this episode

Daniel Robbins sits down with Daniel Lubetzky, founder of KIND and Shark Tank investor, for a raw conversation about fear, identity, and what it means to build instead of destroy. Daniel shares how being the child of a Holocaust survivor wired him for existential worry and pushed him to collect skills so he would not be “expendable,” plus why magic and languages shaped his ability to lead. He breaks down the real reason KIND became a juggernaut, product, culture, and “AND thinking,” and he offers a practical framework for living through chaos: be a builder with curiosity, compassion, creativity, and courage.
