Jeff Eckster

: Jeff is a software engineer turned independent podcaster based in Brooklyn. After a decade at Google and a brief stint at Stripe, he left to focus on long-form audio about how artificial intelligence is reshaping work, creativity, and the economy. His podcast, Quiet Margins, sits at the intersection of technology, philosophy, and small business. Recent guests have included founders working on climate change adaptation, mental health tools, and the future of journalism. Jeff is especially curious about how generative AI is changing podcasting itself — from transcription to editing to discovery — and what that means for independent creators.
