Customer Reviews
Authentic Transparency
Great find! I have walked away with real vision and inspiration with each chat I’ve listened to. I am learning about Web3 and so it is super helpful to hear about people spearheading different companies for this decentralized future we are sprinting towards. Can’t wait for each new episode and I appreciate the candor and authentic transparency as we get a peak at the most interesting people in the market today.
Real-talk for today’s remote worker
I came across Inde on air, ironically, while I was searching for remote work. Right away, the “remote queen,” Maren Kate, through all of her candor and relatability, tugged at my heart strings and drew me right in. What I truly find inspiring is the genuine excitement she brings to each episode. The first one I listened to was the interview with Evan Walden and I was blown away with the compassion they displayed toward everyday people like me, trying to find remote work during these hard times. If you’re looking to work remotely, I strongly urge you to check it out because she has insight into what gets you hired that I never would’ve thought of otherwise. She is the real deal!
Love learning from the stories of others!
My most enjoyable way to learn.
