Insight Out investigates the powerful ideas behind familiar people, companies and breakthroughs to discover what actually worked, what didn't, and what the rest of us can learn.
Familiar ideas deserve a second look.
What this show is
Insight Out investigates the powerful ideas behind familiar people, companies and breakthroughs to discover what actually worked, what didn't, and what the rest of us can learn. Billy goes inside the story — through firsthand experience, original interviews, and honest skepticism — to find the insight that's actually worth keeping.
How it's different
Billy doesn't just interview successful people. He investigates ideas — through his own firsthand experience (Tesla, Homeboy, Podify), original interviews, and honest skepticism.
The recurring question: everyone says this idea works, but is it actually true, why did it work here, and should the rest of us believe it?

Billy Samoa Saleebey
Billy Samoa Saleebey is an entrepreneur, filmmaker and former Tesla leader, and the founder of Podify.
On Insight Out he takes one familiar idea at a time and goes inside the story, drawing on what he has seen firsthand at Tesla, at Homeboy and while building Podify, and on original interviews with the people who lived it.
He is not the subject of the show. His job is to ask the question most coverage skips: everyone says this idea works, but is it actually true, why did it work here, and should the rest of us believe it?
