Customer Reviews
Tuned IN!!
Strategy Simplified stream has quickly become a favorite! The interesting discussions, thought-provoking writing, and useful suggestions never cease to astound me. Every time I listen, I genuinely learn something. I thought it was a great idea to put the needs of the client first in these difficult economic times. We are all having trouble! It was excellent to conduct the Net Disposable analysis and to take steps to put employee welfare first. This podcast is really educational and offers helpful advice on how to handle a variety of issues at work. Listening to the episode on business priorities in the post-pandemic environment is especially beneficial and enjoyable.
Amazing resource!
I started considering the career path to consulting a few months ago and this has been a great resource for networking, insider information, case prep and so much more. I look forward to every new episode!
Amazing podcast
The amount of information on here has helped me ask better questions, change my framework, and has given me the confidence to discuss with senior people in the consulting industry. The range from case interviews to one on interviews provides the show with a field for whatever you may feel that day. I highly recommend it!
