Ricky @ SourceReady: The Global Supply Chain Reset

Ricky sold his first startup at 23. Instead of taking a break, he jumped straight into building SourceReady, an AI platform that helps companies source top products from global suppliers. In this episode of The Way In, Ricky shares his vision of building the “Google search for supplier data”. Why now? In 2025, the U.S. collected $287B in customs duties - up 192% year-over-year. For the first time since the 19th century, tariffs became a major revenue pillar again. More and more companies have to adapt the global supply chain reset, and SourceReady is built to navigate through it. We talked about his journey from dropping out of UC Berkeley to becoming a serial founder, his experience of building in the ecosystems in China and the U.S, the challenges and opportunities in the global supply chain landscape, and what businesses should expect as trade policies and tariffs continue to evolve.

From Engineer to Operator: Trevor @ Olive Legal on Taking Over a Business He Didn’t Start

In this episode of The Way In, I speak with Trevor, CTO of Olive Legal, about stepping into leadership at a company he didn’t start. Trevor joined Olive Legal as the first engineering hire, drawn by the chance to learn from experienced founders. When those founders later moved on to a new venture, Trevor was faced with an unexpected opportunity: take over a revenue-generating business while untangling an inherited codebase and finding the right partner to build alongside. IN THIS EPISODE, WE COVER: * Taking over a company you didn’t found * Building vs. operating an existing business * Lessons carried forward from Trevor's first startup * How lawyers worked before Olive Legal and what changes after * Designing tools that support, not replace, legal professionals * Hiring a CEO as a technical founder * Measuring success through retention and real usage
