Most companies don’t fail overnight. They fail one decision, one compromise, and one comfortable lie at a time.
Kaz Nejatian knows what it looks like from the inside. He took over Opendoor when it was just months away from bankruptcy and set out to rebuild it from the ground up. What followed wasn’t a traditional turnaround. It was a complete refounding of the company.

In this conversation, Kaz explains why great companies drift away from reality, why truth has to matter more than feelings, and why competent people who aren’t aligned with the mission can quietly destroy an organization.
He shares the principles behind rebuilding culture, eliminating bureaucracy, making faster decisions, using AI to flatten management, and creating teams that move with speed and ownership.
Whether you’re leading a business, managing a team, or trying to improve your own decision-making, this episode offers a practical framework for cutting through noise, focusing on what matters, and acting with conviction when the stakes are high.
