Burn Rate, Bull$hit, and the New Rules of Leadership: Josh Robinson & Mike Nathan

What happens when enterprise leadership, military discipline, startup investing, and AI collide?

In this episode of #thePOZcast, Adam sits down with Josh Robinson and Mike Nathan, co-hosts of Burn Rate and Bullshit, for a candid conversation about leadership, entrepreneurship, investing, and the rapidly changing future of work.

Josh and Mike challenge the idea that every high performer should become a manager, explain why authenticity and conviction matter more than polished answers, and reveal what they look for when betting on founders and building teams. They also unpack the rise of the “Army of One,” where AI allows individuals and small, highly empowered teams to operate with the scale and efficiency of much larger organizations.

The conversation explores why blindly replacing employees with AI is a mistake, how companies can use technology to elevate their people, and why the next generation of professionals must combine deep human expertise with real AI fluency. Josh and Mike also share the career risks that changed their lives, the business advice they believe needs to die, and why success ultimately comes down to family, impact, and creating value for others.
