J.L.S.Thomas ,

Extremely engaging and Informative!

I wasn’t sure what to make of these guys to start with, being new to the podcast and entrepreneurial world, and therefore skeptical, but it’s now clear and obvious to me that these guys are the best in the business, when it comes to introducing their audience to entrepreneurship. It’s very engaging, it’s concise (so never gets long and boring), and the 2 hosts share their knowledge on the subject very effectively. 5 Stars!

Lewis A.B ,

Authentic and inspiring

Great to see 2 amazing young guys creating such a welcoming platform for young people starting out on their journeys in entrepreneurship.

It was a pleasure to be invited on the podcast to chat about the non-profit sector and provide some insight into launching my own projects!

akshaya shekaran ,
