About This Podcast
Warm Intro is what happens when you sit down at a dinner party and fall into the best conversation in the room.
Not an interview. A conversation. Honest, human, and sometimes weird conversation with interesting people doing big things.
Entrepreneurs, artists, politicians and chefs open up about their childhoods, hot takes and insecurities — with honesty, humor, and heart.
Hosted by Chai Mishra.
