Tom unfolds the layers of building businesses that mesh luck with acute market insights. This episode of FOMO Sapiens is stuffed with anecdotes and advice you won’t want to miss.
Meet our guest:
Tom Conrad’s childhood heroes didn’t wear capes — they signed their names inside the first Macintosh. Inspired by those pioneering the future of tech, teenage Tom set his eyes on a career at Apple — and not only did he achieve that dream, he helped build key features that remain in iOS today. He went on to play a pivotal role in taking Pandora public, excelled as the VP of Product at Snapchat, and continues to serve on the board of Sonos. Not one to shy away from challenges, he also navigated notorious flops, including Pets.com and Quibi. Now, as CEO of Zero — a digital intermittent fasting coach that improves metabolic health — he’s applying his 30+ years of leadership and product experience to drive innovation and user engagement. With 13.9M users and $12.5M raised, Zero is just scratching the surface of the wellness revolution to come.
