An insightful look into the mind of great business leaders

I have really enjoyed listening to Alejandro and the guests which he has had on the podcasts.

Being a businessman himself, he definitely knows the right questions to ask, and more improtantly he is very good at just letting the people talk uniterrupted. One of the problems I have always had with talk shows and some other podcasts is that the guests are always being talked over. That is certainly not the case here and it is very refreshing.

Some of the knowledge and tips which the guests share are very helpful for people looking to start their own business. I really enjoyed one of the guests who spoke about negotiating properly and understanding that, while some moments are tough, you will get through them if you persist.

I look forward to listening to future episodes.
