CNN Business has launched a brand-new series, “The 1 on 1 with CNN,” bringing together two business leaders for a conversation about their career journeys, their companies, and the challenges shaping the business world.

The first two episodes are available now on CNN’s streaming service.

“‘The 1 on 1’ lifts the curtain on the strategy, decision-making, and personalities of influential business leaders,” said Marie Beaudette, CNN’s vice president of business and media, in a statement. “These refreshingly direct conversations provide perspective on the many obstacles to success and illuminate how to overcome them.”

In the second episode, Pinterest CEO Bill Ready and Venmo co-founder Iqram Magdon-Ismail reflect on the scrappy early days of Venmo, unpacking the high-stakes decisions, personal influences, and evolving realities of building a company in today’s entrepreneurial landscape.

“‘The 1 on 1′” is now available on demand for CNN’s streaming subscribers via CNN.com and CNN connected TV and mobile apps.
