About Build or Break
Daniel Lubetzky is the founder of KIND Snacks, a Shark on Shark Tank, and the founder of the Builders Movement and Lubetzky Family Foundation. He is the host of Build or Break, a new weekly video podcast that premiered September 3 on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music and all major audio platforms.
Build or Break features candid conversations with accomplished entrepreneurs, creators, athletes, entertainers, politicians and business leaders - not just about their success, but also about the defining failures, pivotal setbacks, and breakthrough moments that shaped them. Guests include Kevin O'Leary, Chris Paul, Kendra Scott, Matthew McConaughey, Chip and Joanna Gaines, Mark Cuban, Jason Alexander, Jamie Siminoff, Barbara Corcoran, and Steven Bartlett.
Build or Break exists to inspire audiences to believe in their own power to create, innovate, and solve problems, reinforcing Daniel’s and the Lubetzky Family Foundation’s mission to replace a culture of “Us vs. Them” with solving problems together.
We're looking for a seasoned Executive Producer to take Build or Break from a promising new show to a category-defining, chart-topping property, building the team, the systems, and the partnerships that make that possible.
The Role
The Executive Producer will own the end-to-end success of Build or Break, overseeing: creative execution, production operations, team leadership, platform relationships, and the pathway to monetization. This person will work as a true partner to Daniel, protecting and advancing his voice and vision for the show, while bringing the independent judgment, taste, and operational discipline to run the business of the podcast at a high level.
This is a senior, high-trust role for someone who has taken a podcast from good to great, built the infrastructure behind a chart-topping show, and knows exactly what it takes to compete for top-tier guests, premium distribution, and audience growth. This is a role for someone who will take initiative and ownership, leaving no stone unturned to help fuel Build or Break’s next phase of growth.
This is a rare opportunity to build a media property from an early, high-momentum stage into a top-tier show, with direct access to a founder with a proven track record of scaling brands, a compelling mission behind the work, and real ownership over the strategy, team, and outcomes. You won't be executing someone else's playbook; you'll be writing it
