Show overview
Spearhead launched in 2019 and has put out 68 episodes in the time since. That works out to roughly 2 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a several-times-a-week cadence.
Episodes typically run under ten minutes — most land between 1 min and 2 min — though episode length varies meaningfully from one episode to the next. It is catalogued as a EN-US-language Business show.
The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 5.9 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2020, with 51 episodes published. Published by Naval Ravikant.
