Lex Friedman tells listeners what's on his mind in five minutes or less on the Your Daily Lex podcast. The host owns Lex Friedman Consulting, which helps businesses increase revenue and sales. He's a prolific creator who developed a tech podcast, a game show podcast, and a movie podcast in addition to this one.

Lex cofounded the podcast company Midroll. He was the chief revenue officer at the podcast technology company Art19. Amazon acquired Art19, and Lex became Wondery's head of podcast strategy. Since 2013, he's recorded his thoughts on a regular basis for Your Daily Lex. Listeners hear about his career, family, and personal and professional successes.

The podcast host likes figuring out how things work and how they work best. Those are not the same, yet he excels at both. Lex learned how to write code at a young age. Early in his career, he took a customer service job at PowWeb and completed each day's work in two hours. Lex spent the rest of his time building tools to optimize PowWeb without them asking him to.

Lex is that efficient about most things, including fatherhood. Many episodes of Your Daily Lex discuss his parenting strategies. In one, he talks about installing a whiteboard to track who was doing more chores. Lex analyzes how to get each kid to school on time with different bus schedules. He tries ChatGPT's capabilities. Lex even composes music for his podcast.

Some podcast episodes have Lex talking about routine things like traffic, toothpaste, and bedtime. Yet, he is anything but ordinary. Lex is a curious entrepreneur who tries everything that interests him. He created an online word game and a newsletter, and performs improv at ComedySportz. Lex also released solo freestyle rap albums and produced songs with his son.

The host says he created Your Daily Lex to share thoughts that were too long to tweet but too short to blog about. Many years later, Lex still has plenty to discuss. New podcast episodes come out weekdays.
