Chris Paul, Steven Bartlett, and More: The Moment That Almost Broke Them - Build or Break

August 25, 2026·2m

Chris Paul. Steven Bartlett. The moment before everything almost fell apart. I'm Daniel Lubetzky — founder of KIND Snacks, a Shark Tank investor, and a "confused Mexican Jewish social entrepreneur." I started KIND with one bar and a hundred rejections. Now I'm building the most ambitious project of my life: a podcast about what it actually takes to build something — and the moments almost nobody talks about, when it nearly broke you instead. This is Build or Break. In this series, you’ll see Chris Paul reveal the moment he went into shock. Steven Bartlett, host of Diary of a CEO, open up about his early struggles. Kevin O'Leary on his greatest personal trial. Andrew Yang on living up to the expectations of immigrant parents. Plus Mark Cuban, Kendra Scott, Fareed Zakaria, Jason Alexander, Lucy Aharish, Robert Rodriguez, Jamie Siminoff, Ben Sasse, and Melva Wallace — builders, investors, and leaders who've all faced the same decision: build, or break?
