Build or Break
Hosted by Daniel Lubetzky
About this Show
Daniel Lubetzky — KIND Snacks founder, Shark Tank investor, Mexican Jewish social entrepreneur — sits down with the world's most fearless builders to uncover what it takes to create, innovate, and build things when others would have broken.
Our guests are founders, comedians, scientists, athletes, actors, and public figures. No matter what field they come from - business, sports, entertainment, media, politics, or culture - they all face the same fork in the road.
Daniel pushes past what they built to why they were willing to risk it, and how they kept going when it started to break. Real conversations about entrepreneurship, leadership, resilience, and the decisions that define a builder.
