About

For the founders
still walking north.

Holding North is the rebrand of Promethean Leaders, a podcast hosted by Samad Raza. The show features long-form conversations with founders, operators, and leaders across industries and geographies — exploring how they build, what they've learned, and what they're still walking toward.
