About this listen

Conversations with Ami is a podcast about thinking clearly in the middle of building something.

Each episode features an honest, structured conversation with an entrepreneur navigating growth, decisions, and direction. We talk about where they are right now, what they’re trying to build, what’s getting in the way, and how they’re thinking through the next step.

This isn’t about polished stories or perfect answers. It’s about real tradeoffs, internal narratives, and the decisions that shape progress over time.

Guests are often invited back months later to reflect on what actually changed, what didn’t, and what they learned along the way. The goal isn’t accountability for its own sake. It’s clarity.

If you’re an early-stage entrepreneur who feels ambitious, uncertain, or scattered, this podcast is a space to slow down, challenge ideas, and think things through.

The podcast is hosted by Ami Morgenstern, an entrepreneur and operator, and a co-founder of Better Ledgers, where he works closely with business owners on financial clarity, decision-making, and growth. Ami brings a practical, grounded perspective shaped by building alongside early-stage founders and helping them think more clearly about the direction they’re heading.

Honest conversations about growth, decisions, and direction.
