Customer Reviews
Motivational Magic 🪄
Bilal and his epic guests talk all things entrepreneurial, but it’s so much more than that! You’ll get tons of actionable advice and tangible tips, but you’ll also get heaps of inspiration from truly engaging individuals that have been where you are and want to see you succeed. Thanks so much for putting out such a spectacular show, Bilal - keep up the great work!
Top Draw!!
This is a really good podcast. I found a lot of the guests that come on here don’t really do a lot of interviews so you get to hear a lot of unique insights & perspectives.
The host is great & does a good job of really diving deep into topics. A lot of the learnings I had from this pod were also very practical & easy to implement. Definitely give it a listen especially the episodes with Sam Parr & Shaan Puri
A niche other people aren’t covering
