Huddle Stories, Episode 019: Introducing our new podcast, "Lone Geniuses"
We’re so excited to present our new podcast: Lone Geniuses!
It’s hosted by Huddle CEO and Co-founder, Mike Saloio, and delves into the lives and work of incredible Huddle members behind products and brands you love. Along the way, we debunk the myth of the "lone" genius and discuss the importance of collaborators and supporters in unlocking creativity and success.
Lone Geniuses’ first guest is Huddle member Dan Batten. Dan spent years working at Gin Lane, a venture studio in New York, that gave birth to brands like Sweetgreen, Hims & Hers, and Harry's.
Dan is currently the Creative Director at Hims & Hers. During this episode, they talk about everything from his early life, his career path, the people that helped him get to where he is today, and Mike’s favorite part of the episode: how Dan uses anxiety as a tool to unlock creativity.

🥰 Huddle Love
Huddle Member Francesca Morfini:
“I'm super psyched about Huddle. It's something I've been thinking about for a long time and just to be part of it is awesome, and I think you guys have done an amazing job. The onboarding process, the UI and everything—really I've joined so many communities and some of them are paid and I'm pretty shocked that huddle isn't paid because you all do such a great job.”
