Seth good. Attendees bad.

This series is wonderful but Seth will be on a golden tear dropping massive knowledge … and one of the attendees interrupts and gets him off what he was doing. You can’t really hear their questions or comments and it ruins it. The one guy who is semi argumentative several times is especially bad.

Wonderfully done

I recently started listening and now I can’t stop. A wonderful show in helping with entrepreneurship. What a treasure of info and ideas.

Timeless and relevant

When I first came across this podcast series I noticed it was from 2012 and thought to myself it’s probably not relevant anymore and boy was I wrong! Super good timeless content - do a deep dive into this one. It’s really good. Take notes too. He has a way of asking questions you’ll find yourself pondering long after the episode.
