Amazing!

Nice show! I fell so motivated.

Used to be better

The quality of this podcast has diminished over time. The recent content just seems like rehash of consulting 2 by 2 and 3 by 3 frameworks from business books. Preferred it when the content focused on the PE topics vs how to improve the OpCo.

Below was my former review. By 2021 it’s become HR happy hour.

Entertaining Nuts and Bolts. Honest and entertaining look into the guts of PE
