Episode Description

Welcome to AI for Founders, I'm Ryan Estes.

Today’s episode starts with a simple question:
What happens when the world’s smartest podcast app is built in a country obsessed with precision, craftsmanship, and self-responsibility… and then shipped to founders who desperately need to learn faster?

Because here’s the tension: podcasts have become the biggest knowledge library on Earth, yet most people forget everything they hear.
Our guest today — Kevin Smith, founder of Snipd — decided that was unacceptable. So he built the world’s greatest AI-powered podcast app, from Zurich, one of the top AI hubs on the planet, surrounded by Google, Apple, Meta, OpenAI, and ETH talent.

In this conversation, Kevin breaks down:

  • Why Zurich gives founders an unfair talent advantage

  • Why 74 percent of podcast listeners use podcasts to learn

  • How to build an AI-native product — not an AI add-on

  • And the future of audio: chat with episodes, discoverability, and AI-driven learning loops

If you're a founder who listens to learn, builds with AI, or wants to extract every hidden insight from every episode you hear, this episode is absolutely for you.
