Buyers & Builders

Nobody solves everything. Not a product roadmap. Not a hiring process. Not the perfect tech stack. Both sides are always negotiating what to fix and what to live with. A list that's never published. Welcome to Buyers & Builders podcast. AI was supposed to change that math. Whether it has is what Michelle Krier and Bennett Sung sit down to find out. Sometimes it's a buyer — a talent acquisition leader on what they're actually trying to solve, what they've already tried, and what it costs while it stays broken. Sometimes it's a builder — on what they're making, who it's for, and how they landed on that problem in the first place. Every episode ends with something you can act on. A question to ask a vendor. A claim to stop making. A step in your process that's doing damage you can't see. And for everyone who sits down with us: What did you decide not to solve?
