62 episodes and I’ve not missed 1

Mike and Tom are great to listen to. The banterous chats they have are so seamless that you’d think they’re in the same room rather than being on two different sides of the globe. Not only that, the content in each of the episodes they’ve delivered in their first season has been truely valuable. It’s helped me questioned some of the things I’m doing or need to do to level up my business and customer experience. Definitely a BIZ BUDDY that ‘loves it’. Cheerio!

Entertaining and educational all in one!

This is definitely one of my favourite podcasts. The guys bring so much knowledge to the table, but keep it light, entertaining and always actionable. I find some of the other podcasts in this space a little heavy sometimes, but the back and forth casual style Tom and Mike have makes it really easy listening. Not only is it a great banter but it’s also full of actionable knowledge bombs that have helped me to grow my own business. Thanks guys. Appreciate it and keep it coming. Cheerio! @redkite.design

Powerhouse of a podcast

This podcast is seriously a powerhouse. Mike and Tom are very knowledgable and have years of experience running successful agencies, everything they discuss is relevant, they make sure to summarise each episode and give great actionable advice. You can tell they’re great guys wanting to share the knowledge they have and build a community.

Highly recommended if you’re a business owner needing tips and advice on running a successful creative business.
