Amazing podcast
Whether you’re into tech or not, this podcast is amazing because it features new companies that are changing your world, and who doesn’t want to learn about the coolest new things before everyone else does!!!? Also amazing founders with interesting perspectives come on and discuss their companies which is also really cool. Episodes are brief and captivating. I’d definitely recommend to anyone!

The cutting edge
I love this podcast because I can hear about startups right at the begining of their journey not just after they are successful (which is basically every other business podcast). I think FTF is pretty unique in that way. Plus I love to guess if I believe that the founders idea and business is going to work or not:)

visionaries
It's pretty clear that these 2 dudes, Cix and Dilan are visionaries. In other words, they have a glimse into the future. Think of the positive value of this virtual watch and how turning a game into exercise and fun adds value to the VR and AR world. Great stuff! Of note is that the virtual watch can be used as a real watch while immersed in a VR/AR environment. That is a very practical and useful feature. The potential applications of a virtual bio feedback watch has enormous potentials in other environments. medical, flight training and bio feedback in flight simulations, bio feedback controls in psychology, and on and on. I liked the nature and diversity of the questions Mat asked. Great podcast. Great name for a podcast and two great forward thinking founders!

Unearthing hidden talent
Matt has a unique ability to find people before they’re well known. This means the content is typically much more raw, unfiltered, and tactical which I tend to like more than listening to “common wisdom.”
