The Room Podcast is a podcast for anyone who is passionate about consumer and technology products. We believe it is important to bring to life the stories behind the products that shape our world. Most consumers dream of being in the room where “it” happened. However, these conversations and the creation stories historically happen behind doors closed to groups across age, gender and race. In an effort to open the door, the Room is bringing together men and women across ages and races into the conversation on pivotal product stories.
Our conversation with visionary technology leaders is moderated by two digitally native innovators who are challenging the status quo just like the founders and investors we interview.
Not only have Claudia and Madison have been friends for over two years sharing product stories and a mutual love of consumer retail innovation, but they are now a founder + investor duo- Madison is an investor in Claudia's startup.
