Susan Ehrlich has spent her career on both sides of the table — as an operator at Citibank, Earnest, Amazon, Lending Club, and now as a partner at Core VC. In this episode, she and Shawn Budde dig into the realities of being a CEO, why board meetings so often miss the mark, and what makes them more valuable. From valuation traps to innovation in underwriting, this conversation is packed with practical lessons for founders, operators, and investors.
