Love this show

Not only is it exciting to hear foundational stories from probably the smartest people on the planet, but it’s illuminating to get a peek inside a true “strength of network” relationship as Justin brings friends and colleagues from his years as a professional, role models, and peers across verticals. It really proves how good Justin is in his field, and why he’s so perfect in this role as host.

Good stuff

Justin is a great interviewer and earns a listen. Engaging, informational and doesn’t ramble for an hour on 15 min of content like many others. Keep it up Justin!
