Episode 39: Mike Kadin – Building a Tech Startup, Parenting, and the Future of Podcasting

by | Jun 7, 2020 | Interviews with Leaders | 0 comments

“I didn’t want the fact that we were building a family to prevent us from pursuing the things that we care about most.”

-Mike Kadin

Mike Kadin is the founder and CEO of RedCircle, a podcast platform that helps podcasters turn their hobby into a business. Mike is a self-taught software engineer, who learned to code for the web so that he could speed up his workflow as a high school teacher. After building software for educational institutions and non-profits, he spent 5 years at Uber building out all of Uber’s engineering infrastructure for messaging and marketing.

As a lifelong creator, Mike founded RedCircle because he discovered how hard it was for podcasters with thousands of fans to earn money for their art. With venture-backing from top Silicon Valley VCs, and an amazing 11-person team in San Francisco, RedCircle is excited to be delivering tremendous revenue for thousands of podcasters around the world.
