Robinhood co-founder details his journey to building a company that revolutionized the finance industry. Robinhood co-founder Baiju Bhatt has always believed in thinking big — but what most people don’t see is the grit and pain it took to get there. In this episode, Baiju shares his personal story: growing up as the son of Indian immigrants, watching his father’s health fail, and being an overweight kid who turned to running as a way to take control of his life. That mental toughness became the foundation for everything — from co-founding Robinhood and changing how millions interact with finance, to now launching a new company, Aetherflux, with a mission to build an energy grid in space. It sounds like science fiction, but Baiju is proving it’s possible. He and Kate talk about the pressure immigrant kids carry, how movement helps him stay grounded while building high-stakes companies, and why belief in your own ideas is the only way to survive as a founder. If you’ve ever doubted yourself, felt like the outsider, or dreamed something people said was impossible — this episode is for you.
