Don’t miss out on this podcast if you want to be part of the very real changes that need to happen in business!
Great energy on the Podcast
Unlike most podcast, its just rambling in a boring tone.
Jeff uses such energy in his speaking, that it is sure to to keep you engaged. Love the insight, humor, and outlook take on tech.
This is real conversation with founders that have gone through the process of entrepreneurship, you can learn a lot.
Insightful podcast on the behind the scenes of tech
TechieBytes is one of my favorite podcasts to get the expert insights of what’s going on behind the scenes in tech / VC / startup worlds. Jeff’s interviews with founders are not just informative, but also very well executed. He asks the questions that need to be asked. The TechieBytes podcast is also a good companion for the Best Techie blog. The blog is also one of my favorite places to get tech reviews when looking at purchasing a new product! Overall! Cant recommend more!
