Great storytelling, interviewing and advice

Alex does a great job of blending great storytelling, interviewing and teasing out practical advice that makes MSC an amazing podcast.

I love the guests on the podcast. They are accomplished and impressive in their own right, but you won’t find them on countless other podcasts. I think Alex does a great job finding people his core audience can resonate with–creatives and entrepreneurs who have worked for a corporation, startup, their own venture, and might even be somewhere in between.

Love this podcast.

Make Something Good

The great part of this podcast is that even if you don’t think of yourself as a creative the host gives you practical insight to show that on some level All of us are Creatives. Then he follows it up with practice steps to expand on what resonates with you, personally. Finally it’s just inspirational and motivational.
