    <title>Heads Down</title>

    <description>The biggest podcasts chase the loudest founders. This one doesn't.

Heads Down tells the stories of real entrepreneurs and real investors — the ones too busy building to be famous. They're raising capital, deploying capital, and doing the unglamorous, day-by-day work of making something real. No performance. No vanity. Just people who are heads down, getting it done.

Listen on a run or on the road, and somewhere in an episode you'll catch yourself thinking: "Holy shit — I need to work with this person." That's the point. Heads Down exists to put builders and backers in touch — to help them understand each other and get in business together, investing capital, time, and effort to make each other's visions real.

If you're an operator or an investor doing the work nobody claps for, this is your show. You'll recognize the people in it. They might recognize you.</description>
