Great for entrepreneurs in need of shared knowledge and classic stories
I really enjoy hearing the stories of famous entrepreneurs and also how Reid shares his view in either complementing it or showing an alternative view of the situation.

Hi Reid, I'm a big fan of your show. The show is AWESOME. Behind the scenes stories are captivating with your relive the experience story telling with creative sound effects. Listening to Airbnb's 11 stars experince and get to know users and make something drastically for them, and Y-comb's not sort of like but love and many more, I learned a lot and sparked my imaginations. I would love to scale your audineces in Japan! Nobu at ShoreBlend
