And Georgie did exactly THAT!
Georgie dreamt of doing a live, in-person recording, and she made it happen. With the legend himself, Andrew McCarthy (Notion’s Head of ANZ, SEA & India 😎).
It wasn’t just Georgie’s dream either. This was DayOne’s first ever live podcast recording, hosted by the amazing UNSW Founders.
We laughed, we learned, we even left a few "umms" unedited. And now, it’s officially live for you to watch or listen - it’s a front-row seat to how Notion nearly died, why AI isn't the future (it’s the now), and how a single origami page sparked a company-wide revolution.👇
