Trust isn’t soft. It’s infrastructure.

Built to Trust is a podcast for founders, engineers, and leaders who are building real things — companies, teams, families — and trying to do it without losing themselves.

Hosted by Soummya Datta, a hands-on builder and engineering executive behind hybrid aircraft and high-performing teams, each episode explores the hard lessons that don’t get taught in leadership books: how to fire someone with respect, why urgency needs systems, and how being a parent made him a better manager.

Whether you're scaling a team, hiring your first IC, or just trying to get better at leading under pressure — Built to Trust gives you honest insights with zero fluff.
