Lifestyle Creep ,

Thank you for sharing these stories!

Great podcast with interesting guests. Just listened to the episode with Jeremy and Houston and love how they transitioned from working for others to working for themselves. I think a lot of us would love to get to that point!

Awesome resource if you’re undecided on a career

So many interesting guests from such a variety of industries. Must listen for those entering career life, wanting a change, or if you’re bored and want an entertaining listen!

zionhebraic ,

A fun and informative listen

Well produced, informative as well as entertaining. Often I don’t get through “business podcasts”, but Chris keeps a good flow that keeps you drawn in. Listen in and don’t miss out.
