Great content

Thank you for bringing on a variety of guests to speak on healthcare topics! Very informative!

Kavita Kaur K ,

Good People, bad interviews

It doesn’t seem like the interviewer does any prep beforehand. He asks very boring questions with no insight into the problem that they’re solving. He brings great founders onto his podcast but doesn’t do justice to them in his interviews.

Also, awkward silences in between questions and monotone (no excitement) voice exacerbates it.
