Ahhh man, a top-five podcast episode for sure. Moments where you can get two cofounders who’ve known each other for years debating a topic they’ve never talked about are what Damien and I do The Next Iteration Podcast FOR. Today’s episode features Nathaniel Salander and Rasmus Dey Meyer, the founders of Apollo Defense. #Defense is a prickly topic; there’s a TON of opinions on both sides of the aisle. Honestly, I felt uncomfortable doing an episode on it for a long time, since I didn’t want to get "#political". If you’ve ever wanted to understand the global landscape, America’s role in international relations, and how tech plays a role, THIS IS THE EPISODE FOR YOU. Truly, one of my favorite conversations on the podcast yet. Link in comments for the full episode (on all platforms). Timestamps (2:10) - What are Segundo Bros?
