Jeff Kofman is the CEO and Founder of Trint, an AI-powered transcription software company.

But before that, he spent over three decades as an Emmy-winning foreign and war correspondent for major news networks, reporting from more than 40 countries on some of the biggest events of our time.

What makes him such a great guest for the Rhizomes Podcast isn’t just where he’s been—it’s what he’s learned. His pivot from journalism to tech wasn’t just a career shift, it was a reinvention. 

In our conversation, we talk about resilience, empathy, the overlaps between journalism and entrepreneurship, and what it takes to make a huge life change.

I took a lot from this episode—hope you do too.
