The Messy Parts Podcast

We are a small nimble team — of senior executives who now work on passion projects, from NYCNext to The Longest Table to now The Messy Parts Podcast.

We’re a startup that ebbs and flows with friends, favors and freelancers.

We dream big and have a track record of making the impossible happen.

We’ve self funded and launched The Messy Parts as an independent project. In week 6, the podcast was featured on Apple’s New & Noteworthy page. By week 11, we were appearing in the Apple business podcast rankings at #33 (we are #4 in careers). AND we’re just getting going. What we are interested in is building a media platform … and The Messy Parts is the first piece of that puzzle.
