Knowable: Creating a new format in the education space

Knowable is an audio-first learning platform where you can find high-quality educational courses, and listen and learn on the go, without having to stare at a screen. In this episode, I talk with co-founder and CEO Warren Shaeffer, who shares that the idea behind Knowable came from not a lack of time, but a lack of time he could devote to watching something and learning that way. Knowable is the third startup Warren and his co-founder have started. He details the other companies he created, and details one of his favorite courses on Knowable, Launch a Startup, in which well-known startup experts share their insights and expertise to help listeners prepare for building their own companies.
