Seeing early businesses through a new lens

I love the perspective this podcast takes. There are so many podcasts that paint the picture from the founder’s perspective, which I really enjoy. However, hearing stories from early employees adds an entirely new element and perspective to business and helps expand the concept for how these small ideas turn into great companies.

Easy to relate to yet still learn a lot

This podcast is awesome. I love hearing the stories of people that I can easily relate to. I also learn a ton and find things I can implement into my work and day-to-day on a regular basis. Such an interesting and inspiring show.
