“Real conversation with someone who's running businesses, building software, and closing deals in real time. Episodes are unscripted longform”

The Download is a podcast about what's actually working in tech and business — hosted by Tyler Thompson, a founder running multiple companies and building software in the middle of it all.
This isn't a show about AI. It's a show about people doing interesting work, and AI happens to be in most of those conversations because it's in most of that work. We talk to founders, developers, marketers, investors, and operators about how they're building, what they're betting on, where they're getting blindsided, and what they wish someone had told them earlier.
Topics range wide: agentic coding, SaaS economics, go-to-market in an AI-saturated world, hiring, content, search disruption, capital strategy, and the unglamorous reality of running real businesses. Strong opinions, real numbers, no scripts.
Guests we want: people who've built, broken, or rebuilt something — and can talk about it without a deck. Founders, operators, builders, deal-makers. If you're a thought leader without a product, this isn't the show.
