Awesome insights into the startups universe

Hearing this story from the actual people themselves involved in it is amazing.

Now this is what i'm talking about

A fascinating narrative about all the good, bad, and ugly that goes into getting a startup off the ground. Rarely do you get such an up close and personal portrayal of an organization, let alone one in the midst of its ascent. Can't wait to hear more!

Awesome podcast

Most podcasts don’t talk about how the sausage is made. There are a lot of sacrifice made by early employees and this podcast will truly make you appreciate how hard it is to start a company.
