NiallPGA ,

Highly practical

Too many pods fail to discuss the nuts and bolts of business. They are full of broad sweeping generalisations and empty platitudes.

You give us the mechanics. The numbers. The benchmarks. All crucial if any listener is going to be able to understand how they can apply topics to their own entrepreneurship.

My New Favourite Podcast

I listen to lots of Startup podcasts but this has instantly usurped all the others for me. All three hosts are so sharp and have an excellent chemistry. Their conversations are so insightful and relevant, a real must for anyone interested in building companies
