About This Podcast

After 30 years of building startups, teams, and products, entrepreneur and media exec Jeremy Toeman is taking time to reflect — and to ask the questions that don’t get answered in pitch decks or exit press releases. Founder@50 is a podcast for anyone rethinking life, work, or identity. Guests include 20-somethings just starting out to 50-somethings starting over or reflecting back. Through candid conversations with founders, creators, and builders from all walks of life, Jeremy draws on decades of experience. His career spans places like WarnerMedia, Etsy, and CBS, and this podcast is here to uncover the lessons, mistakes, and moments of reinvention that shape how we build meaningful lives. Because after years in the game, what really matters is clarity, growth, and doing work that actually lasts. Still building. Still questioning. Always learning.
