In this insightful episode of Hustle & Flowchart, host Joe Fier sits down with Oji Udezue and Ezinne Udezue, powerhouse builders, investors, and tech veterans with experience at industry giants like Twitter, Typeform, and T-Mobile. The duo recently co-authored the book Building Rocket Ships and brings a wealth of perspective on entrepreneurship, crafting lasting tech products, and leveraging AI in today’s fast-moving landscape.

  • Real-world lessons from startup investing and advising—what founders consistently get wrong and right
  • How to be intentional with company systems to avoid being a one-hit wonder
