Most founders try to avoid competing with Apple and Google– Chris Hulls built a 50-million user platform by going straight at them.
We dig into how Life360 evolved from a simple location tracking app into the safety super-app for families worldwide. Chris shares surprisingly candid takes on startup conventional wisdom, why privacy fears are often overblown, and how a CEO sabbatical led him down some unexpected paths (including competitive pumpkin growing and consciousness exploration).
It's a wide-ranging conversation that covers everything from the $205M Tile acquisition to mental health in the C-suite. Whether you're building products, scaling companies, or just curious about how technology is reshaping family dynamics, there's something here for you. Give it a listen.
