Entrepreneur, among other things...
“A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, cook a meal, fight efficiently, and die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.”
― Robert A. Heinlein
I talk to the most interesting people we can find in business, finance, science, art, technology, and human improvement and try to learn from them.

#131 - Edwin Endlich: Why This CMO is Turning Life Insurance into a "Wish Granting" Machine.
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, we sit down with Edwin Endlich, the CMO of Wysh, to explore his incredible journey from the writers' rooms of late-night television to the cutting edge of fintech. Edwin shares behind-the-scenes stories from his time working with Dave Letterman and the chaotic period at Comedy Central during Dave Chappelle’s departure. He reveals how these experiences in comedy and viral storytelling, including his pivotal role in managing the Tide Pod Challenge response, prepared him to revolutionize one of the world's most "stodgy" industries: life insurance.
Edwin explains the unique "Wish Granting" philosophy behind his company, Wysh, where life insurance is transformed from a morbid necessity into a platform for fulfilling personal legacies, from booking a favorite band for a funeral to training a spouse in martial arts. Whether you are interested in marketing, entertainment history, or industry disruption, this conversation offers a masterclass in brand building.
