Best VC Podcast!!

There are tons of VC podcasts out there but I haven’t found anything as conversational and free flowing as Vitalize’s podcast. Not only are guests top class, but Justin also brings unique energy to each convo which makes the podcast entertaining and fruitful at the same time. Best of both worlds! 🤩
