The future doesn’t just happen, it’s built.
Unmissables is a podcast & newsletter about technology, business, and culture. Host Ariba Jahan talks with builders, strategists, and leaders about the things they're sitting with — what they're building, the tensions they're navigating, the questions they keep coming back to, and the patterns they can't stop tracking.
Some episodes go deep on a single product or decision. Some zoom out to the systems underneath and the futures we're creating. How products earn loyalty, how design shapes behavior, how data practices drive what gets prioritized and what gets ignored. All of them are built around one thing worth not missing.
You'll leave with something you can use: a framework, a question, or a pattern you won't stop noticing.
Paid members get bonus content, deep dives, and early access.
More perks coming in March 2026.

“This is the exact kind of content I've been craving as someone very business focused, and I so appreciate Ariba’s approach, branding, curation, guest list all of it! I love innovation but haven't leaned into the industry side of it, and I really do feel a sense of belonging from this podcast because these are the types of questions I have and I really appreciate the way Ariba explores them.
