I Love Proc 'n' Roll: The First Anniversary Special

Happy 1st Birthday to Proc & Roll! 🎂🎸

Can you believe it has been a whole year? In this special anniversary episode, hosts Conrad Smith, Natasha Gurevich, and Zach Bachir put aside the interview scripts to reminisce on the journey from episode 1 to 35+.

What started as a random lunch in London turned into a community of "operators in the trenches," and we wouldn't be here without you!

In this episode, we cover:

The Origin Story: How a cold email and a lunch sparked a deep friendship and a podcast.
The AI Rewind: Conrad uses Google’s NotebookLM live on the show to analyze our entire year of transcripts, revealing our biggest themes (from Ethics to "Savings vs. Value").
Best Guest Moments: We look back at game-changing conversations with Dr. Elouise Epstein, Mark Raffan, Alyssa Harvey Dawson, Ana Erickson, Ash Hall, MVK (Michael Van Keulen), Josh Earley, Arnaud de Brux, and David Johnson, plus we preview upcoming episodes with Ted Baumuller and Jay Sklar.
2026 Teasers: A sneak peek at upcoming episodes featuring CHROs discussing layoffs and a deep dive into the CFO relationship.

Whether you are a CPO or a new category manager, thank you for rocking with us this year. Here’s to many more! 🥂
