Midnite Snack is a short-form interview series that features authentic conversations with technology leaders, innovators, and changemakers in a relaxed, engaging setting. Instead of asking the typical question, “What keeps you up at night?”, Midnite Snack asks a different one: “When you're up at night, what's your midnight snack?” Each episode centers around the guest's favorite late-night snack while exploring their career journey, leadership lessons, industry insights, personal stories, and the ideas shaping the future. The format is intentionally conversational, fun, and unscripted—designed to reveal the person behind the title. I’m the host, Frank Rains Jr. I am also a technology advisor, emcee, speaker, actor, improv comedian, and singer — blending business insight with creative expression. Subscribe for smart fun, memorable stories, and a fresh look at the people shaping the future.
