Customer Reviews
Not the usual startups podcast
I twiddle knobs for this show but have no input on its creation, so take that as disclosure. I would not naturally be interested in this content, but I find this podcast entertaining and informative. I’d be a subscriber if I weren’t working on it. This isn’t Silicon Valley cheerleading or dry biz analysis. It’s a fun, funny, lively conversation, with occasional singing and comedy bits, and damned if I don’t learn something about business, finance and tech on the regular from the hosts, who bring knowledge, experience and, most importantly for me, skepticism.
