Lawrence Seb ,

Great show with actionable insights

My go-to source for marketing insights. I’m a CMO with 20 years experience in the field and I’m still learning things from Louis and his guests. In my next endeavor I’m def hiring him to stand the f* out.

Chrissy Flanagan

I found this episode to be jarring with her description of the experience and “if you’re not here to be friendly it’s not for you” to choose one of the more tame statements. What about people with social anxiety? The concept on paper is nice but seems like there’s no empathy for individual experiences but bitterness that she feels like people who keep to themselves are snobbish. What if that’s their comfort level? This ep also made me more conscious of cursing when not necessary.

Louis is amazing

I’ve learned more from all of Louis’ content than from the dozens of others marketers I read content from combined. This podcast is 100% worth the time it takes to listen!
