In this season finale, the mic gets flipped on Kayla-Megan Burns, the brilliant mind behind Podplistic and the production of this very podcast. A former biomedical student, climate activist, and New York Times debate guest, Kayla takes us through their incredible journey: from selling podcast services as a side hustle to pitching AI-driven software to global news giants.
We talk tech, identity, burnout, purpose and how it feels to be a non-binary founder navigating the startup world (and the women’s founder ecosystem) in 2025. It’s warm, honest, smart, and a perfect wrap-up to the series.
You’ll laugh, cry, and probably Google “Dunning-Kruger effect” halfway through.
