Customer Reviews
This podcast is another gimlet goldmine.
I am in my late 20s and all of my friends and I are all always trying to work our what we are doing with our lives and this podcast is a great eye opener and reminder that there is so much out there!! I love that the stories are so relatable and not a case of a CV list like I went to Ivy League school and then law school etc. Etc. But more like ‘I was here and I noticed this and had this idea, so I tried it’ it’s so inspiring.
I love Alex as a host and have listened to “start up” a lot, he is vulnerable, thoughtful, intelligent and his story telling is the best in the game. Thank you for your hard work.
Absolutely worth subscribing to
Fantastic podcast, well produced, great stories. Huge fan
My first review
I’ve never written a review on a podcast before but I feel compelled to ‘put pen to paper’ to say how absolutely brilliant this one is. It’s both inspiring and funny, and has become my regular soundtrack. Listen to it - you won’t regret it!
