S3 E11: Mike Kadin, RedCircle

Mike Kadin is a family man, having been married for 7 years with a 2 year old (in the No phase). He studied electrical engineering, specifically chip design and computer architecture, obtaining a dual degree in EE and education. He is a musician, singing in acapella groups, playing the drums, piano, guitar - and is an polished beat boxer, having been practicing regularly over the years. Mike started his career as a high school physics and math teacher. During this time, he learned a lot about managing a bunch of kids in a class, and catering to different types of personalities. At this time, he found. himself trying to find a way to write code to make his classroom work better. In the winter of 2017, Mike was working at Uber, leading the communication platform team. As the company grew bigger, he found himself longing to be in a smaller, more tight knit team, along with being aligned to a long term vision for positive impact. At the same time, he started hacking on a side project on nights and weekends, learning the Go programming language, and creating a unique way to stitch together podcast episodes. He found his passion not only for the solution he was building, but for making an impact in the podcasting industry - for podcasters and marketers. He went on to commit to building a marketplace to easily connect the two, creating a win-win scenario for both. This is the creation story of RedCircle.
