Podcast Description
The Offsite Podcast is a candid, behind-the-scenes catch-up with host Jordan Gal and the friends, founders, and thinkers he admires. Each episode kicks off with real talk about work—what’s hard, what’s going well, and what’s unfolding in the moment. But just as important is what’s going on outside the lines of work: personal growth, ambition, envy, burnout, and the chaos of building while being human. With a rotating cast of co-hosts, the show is as much about chemistry as it is about insight.
This is a podcast about making sense of the mess and meaning of modern work and life, without taking ourselves too seriously. Honest updates, sharp takes, and the occasional therapy session, all recorded with a mic, a laugh, and a glass of something nearby.

What price are entrepreneurs willing to pay for presence?
Jordan Gal, founder and host of Offsite, reconnects with Henry Poydar, CEO of Steady, to discuss the personal and professional transitions of being an empty nester entrepreneur. Henry, who recently dropped off his twin boys at college, reflects on the emotional journey while pivoting Steady from a per-user pricing model to team-based pricing for their AI copilot for teamwork. “You get 18 summers with your kids, and then it’s over,” Henry shares about the transition. The conversation explores how both founders chose entrepreneurship precisely for family flexibility, with Jordan questioning whether true work-life balance exists or if it’s about accepting trade-offs.
