In this inaugural episode of The Dana Download, host Dana Arschin Kraslow sits down with her husband—and venture capitalist—Michael Kraslow for a candid, wide‑ranging conversation. They trace their chance meeting on Manhattan’s Lower East Side, explore Michael’s journey from Long Island to Columbia Business School, and delve into his work backing cutting‑edge AI and space tech. Together they tackle the rise of antisemitism—on campus and online—debate the stakes of the Israel‑Hamas war, and warn of the slippery slope from free speech to enforced ideology. Along the way, Michael shares how fatherhood reshaped his perspective on time, priorities, and what’s truly worth fighting for. Sharp, heartfelt, and refreshingly frank, this episode sets the tone for a podcast where curiosity meets conviction—and no topic is off‑limits.
