Most recommended Founder Podcast

If you are building a startup or scaling a business this is a must listen.

It is basically 4+ years of the best mentoring you could get.
Love your work Rohit! Your interviewing style is authentic, relevant for your audience and in depth.

Thank you for doing this!

Dave Lemphers ,

Learn from the best

As a 4x successful founder, I love the tactical and genuine information in this podcast. Rohit carefully selects his guests then guided them deftly through the key points in their journeys, revealing valuable insights not available anywhere else. A must for founders who want to execute like the pros.

Rohit gives real world insights

As a founder I’m voracious in consuming startup podcasts; This week in start ups, recode, Y Combinator. Rohit provides the best insight on HOW to run your company rather than discussing the fluffy topics around it. The best podcast for someone wanting to know and understand best practices.
