Gone Phishing


Our 100th Episode (with Josh Simmons)

March 11, 2024

What does it take to reach 100 episodes of unfiltered, unscripted banter? Join Connor and his co-founder Josh to celebrate our 100th episode of Gone Phishing. In this milestone episode, the duo reflects on their journey from humble beginnings to boardroom discussions, reminiscing about the highs, lows, and hilarious moments that have defined their journey so far.


Connor and Josh delve into the evolution of their dynamic while navigating philosophical debates on free will and determination. However, it's not all serious introspection. They also share plenty of laughs while reminiscing about panic-inducing moments, risk aversion, and the unexpected joys of embracing weirdness (yes, purple life jackets included).
