Best Investing Podcast
Hands down this is the most informative and interesting podcast I’ve found. Jason has the smartest people in the private market give their advice, knowledge and expertise in a casual yet intellectually stimulating manner. Even if you know nothing about startups or the private market this will catch your attention.
Listen!
Jason asks some of the best questions out there. He knows the industry well and is an evangelist for entrepreneurship. He has some recurring bits that become a bit repetitive, but the quality of guests and new insights he draws out from them is well worth it.
