Episode notes

Zoltan Szalas has spent years building at the intersection of product, growth, AI, workspace, and distributed teams.

He is the CEO and Co-Founder of Croissant, a company building the system of record for variable workspace - replacing traditional office leases and workspace stipends with controlled, usage-based spend.
